Equipment unit conditions for equipment usage processing |
Note: If you do not post usage ticket charges and do not use rental billing, you do not need to process equipment usage.
Equipment usage for month processing affects non-pool usage transactions only. For each usage transaction recorded during the month, this process calculates what portion of the monthly base rate to charge. The Rental Rates tab on the Data -> Equipment Units -> Setup -> Equipment Class -> Primary Information screen specifies the type of apportionment used for each equipment class ID.
You can only run equipment usage for month processing once for a single month/year combination.
If you do not run equipment usage for month processing for 1 or more months, calculations are automatically adjusted to recover the base rental charges for the skipped months and appropriately increases the allowances for free meter units per month.
Note: When a base charge is apportioned among various usage tickets, charges computed using the Special Meter 1 Rate are not considered.
