Enabling counters for cost settlement

Core TSIs : Cost Settlement : Working with Cost Settlement : Enabling counters for cost settlement

You can on-charge (service) costs which are based on counters (consumption based on counter readings). You can link a counter to

• the cost type that it represents (gas, water,etc.)

• one or more spaces or rentable units

Example: you can link an electricity meter to the cost type Electricity. Based on the readings of this electricity meter, electricity costs are invoiced to the lessor. The lessor can subsequently on-charge these costs fully or partly to the lessees of the space / rentable unit.

1. Go to the Meters TSI.

2. Define the required counter(s). At the Meters selection level, link the counter to a cost type via the Cost type field. For more information, see the Meters documentation.

3. Click Link spaces / Link rentable units on the action panel. A dialog box appears where you can link spaces / rentable units.

You can also link spaces / rentable units at Meters > Linked spaces / Linked rentable units. The link between the meter and the rentable units / spaces is time aware. This means that the costs are only settled for the linked rentable units / spaces for the period that the link exists.
