Enter, Edit, and Post Charges on Meter Readings

A billing code will need to be created for ELEC. This is required for the statement description. Go to System Administration > Configuration > Storage and Billing.

If your meters are not specifically addressed, add the slip number as the address. The Electric Meter Box must be checked in the slip file with the meter. A meter will not be billed if there is no boat currently assigned to the meter. Go to Marina Management > Slip Functions > Slip Maintenance to enter meters for slips.

• Required: Billing Date

• Required: Meter Read Date

• Required: Choose Electric, Water, or Other

• Optional: Meter Reader’s Initials, List Name and Slips. Selecting specific slips narrows down the list that is generated.

This number should be rounded to the nearest kilowatt. Note: The beginning reading defaults from the last entry.

The Electric Charge field defaults the calculated electric charges and allows you to override the amount calculated. If the amount is overridden, the row will be highlighted in yellow.

The End Meter readings column will be blank if the charges from the previous batch have been billed. If you open the Meter Readings grid and the End Readings are populated, this means the charges have not yet been posted.

The Beginning Meter Reading can also be modified in this screen. This is useful when you are loading meter readings for the first time into DockMaster.

Save and follow the "Review Charges" and "Complete the Electric Billing Process" steps above.

If you entered an incorrect billing date through Enter Electric Meter Readings, you can delete ALL non-posted electric invoices up to a specific date by using the Delete Non-posted Storage/Electric Bills program. This is easier than editing and deleting each charge one by one.

The date field will default to ALL, but should be changed to the date needed.
