What MainStreetTM Utility Billing Does...

Supports unbundling of charges with an unlimited number of charges on a utility bill.

 

Allows service rates to be based on a flat amount, stepped tables, tables dependent upon water consumption (including winter averages), based on number of containers, size of containers, number of pick-ups, allow for minimum and maximum charges, and fuel surcharges.  

 

Supports an unlimited number of routes with up to 9,999 accounts in a route. Allows creation, resequencing, or building routes without changing the customer account number or historical information. 

 

Supports all meter reading hand-held devices, or manual entry of readings.

 

Maintains separate account numbers for multiple parties at the same location.

 

Calculates and prints bills for one or more cycles with user defined messages on selected bills, or all utility bills. 

 

Provides for on demand calculation of all charges on a utility bill.  An unlimited number of special rate calculations are also provided, such as winter quarter averaging, seasonal rating, and budget billing.  Metered, flat, and one-time charge rates are also supported.

 

Supports the voiding of a utility bill already posted, reversing the readings, consumption, billing charges and the related journal entries.  Allows you to recalculate charges selectively, produce net adjustments, and generate corrected bills.

 

Allows you to estimate consumption for a complete route or routes in the event of emergencies or for all unread meters, and produce bills.  Consumption estimates can be based upon a 5 year period average, or a user-defined rolling monthly average.

 

Ability to age accounts in user defined ageing periods or in 30, 60, 90 days periods.

 

Provides the ability to classify different types of users for each service even though they may be billed on the same rate structure for that service.

 

Maintains customer and property information on services billed, meter types, serial numbers, user defined comments, and monetary and consumption history of charges, adjustments, payments, and readings. 

Allows unlimited notes and customer correspondence for a customer and service address. The customer notes follow a customer, address notes stay with the service address.

Maintains customer and service address information, such as bill codes, credit information, multiple billing addresses, owner, resident, guarantor, meter type, serial number, and work orders.

Tracks detail service order transactions as well as financial transactions for a service address and meter number.

Accesses utility accounts by account number, name, service address, social security number, tax id, drivers license number, telephone number, resident name, or your old account number.

Provides a history of all meters that have installed at the service address. This history includes the date a meter was removed, the meter serial number and last reading. 

Creates work orders automatically from new account set-up, meter change-out, and account closing transactions.  New accounts set-up allows you to take the applicant information, print a service order for a final bill, and as soon as a meter reading is obtained, to calculate a final bill with deposit applied and print it on demand.

Supports meter exchanges, printing each meter reading and consumption, a message that the meters were exchanged, and total consumption and amount on the next bill.

Computes penalties and late fees on delinquent accounts according to user defined criteria. These charges may be immediately posted to the account or be added to the next month's bill as a separate item.

 

Provides past due notices automatically and generates a cut off list after reviewing for possible revisions if necessary.  Cut-offs may be posted to the account, automatically generating a cut-off service order.  Some accounts may be flagged to be exempted from penalty, cutoff, or both.

 

Allows you to reprint any customers' bill at a service counter for all charges due, and show past due as well as current amounts.

 

Creates deposit refund checks after a predetermined time, or when the account is finaled.  Deposits are automatically transferred from the old account to the new account when a customer transfers to another account.
