Overview
Overview
This alert notifies your company of potential setup errors in the meter groups of active contracts. eAutomate does allow multiple meter types in a single meter group, so this alert can help identify this easy to make oversight. It is normal industry practice to charge different rates for different meter types such as black & white versus color. This alert catches when a meter group contains more than one type of meter type, such as black & white and color in the same meter group billing at the same base and/or overage rate. This is very important to catch as early as possible as it can cause billing errors and potential loss of revenue for your company if equipment is billing at incorrect rates.

Best Practices & Tips
Best Practices & Tips
It is best practice to have one meter type present in a single contract meter group. This gives you more control over rate billing by meter type and the ability to report on rates by meter type as well as catching any potential contract errors.
Meter types are created and maintained in List and Codes section of eAutomate.
