Overview

Alert captures all contracts invoiced that day where the beginning meter and the ending meter on any of the equipment billed were both Estimated (using the Estimated flag) and generates an email to recipients at your company containing PDF letters for your customer. We suggest these letters be reviewed by your billing dept and sent to the customer when appropriate.

Alert Functionality

Alert Functionality

At the end of each day, this alert looks at all of your Contract Invoices for the day and creates PDF letter when both the Previous and Current Meter Readings are estimated. 

If no qualifying records, you will still receive an email with one blank PDF letter attached (sorry it is a limitation in how Crystal Reports works with our alert logic).

The contact used for the letter is the Equipment Contact listed on the Equipment Record and this will be who the letter is addressed to. Note this process doesn't actually send to that contact, it just generates the letter with that contact's name.

Meter Readings must be marked as ESTIMATE = YES as seen here via the Meter Reading Console:
