Model-Ration Utility

Use the Model-Ration Utility routine to automatically transfer the model rate information to the appropriate rate tables and transaction codes.  Typically this is run after your utility approves a rate change.  During this routine the information for each model rate table that you maintain will be copied to a corresponding rate table.  In addition, the values for the model minimum charge and the model minimum usage fields will update the minimum charge and the minimum usage fields for the appropriate transaction codes.

Notes:  

• Enter all readings for customers who should be billed entirely at the old rates before starting the Model-Ration Utility.

• If you want to pro-rate customer bills (charge customers a portion at the old rate and a portion at the new rate), see Pro-Ration Utility.

• You must maintain model-rates during Model-Rate Table Maintenance and model minimum charge and model minimum usage for each transaction code in order to use Model-Ration Utility.

• For more information about rate modeling, see Rate Modeling Process.
