Select the appropriate seasonal crossover calculation method from the drop-down list. Crossover methods are used when a bill starts in one season and ends in another.
Start Date The entire bill is forced into one season based upon its start date. Example: If a bill begins in winter, the entire bill is calculated as if it were in winter.
End Date The entire bill is forced into one season based upon its end date. Example: If a bill ends in summer, the entire bill is calculated as if it were in summer.
Majority of Days The entire bill is forced into one season based upon which season contains more billing days. Example: If 20 days of a bill are in the summer season and 10 days are in winter, the entire bill, all 30 days, is calculated as if it were a summer bill.
Prorate The bill is split into two distinct sub-bills based upon billing period days. Each sub-bill is then prorated for the billing period length and added together to determine total cost. Example: If 20 days of a bill are in the summer season and 10 days are in winter, 20 days are calculated with the summer rate and 10 days are calculated with the winter rate.
Split Only used with meter data, creates two sub-bills.
Continue building the rate. Each portion of the rate, customer charge, demand charge, energy charge, etc., has a season definition portion.
