Using the Bill Script Editor

The Bill Script Editor is a tool for quickly generating bill scripts in EnergyCAP. Bill scripts are written in Visual Basic programming language. The virtual bill creation process uses bill scripts to supply values to a virtual bill. EnergyCAP Enterprise maintains a history of the account's bill script versions.

When editing a bill script, the modified script applies to the current version and all future versions of this bill.

Editing scripts should only be attempted by advanced users with Visual Basic programming skills.
