Meter Minimum Charge

To set up minimum meter charges, follow these steps:

1. Go to Setup > Item related > Selling Units.

2. Create a new selling unit and name it appropriately (e.g., Kms).

3. Go to the “Metered” tab and ensure that the “Meter unit?” box is checked.

4. Enter a value for “Meter Minimum,” which represents the minimum number of units to be charged by default.

Once you have configured the selling unit with the minimum meter charge, you can proceed to add the charge to an invoice:

1. Create an item using the selling unit you just set up and configure the unit price.

2. Add this item to an invoice.

3. Click on the “Meter Readings” link located above the invoice lines.

4. Input the meter reading values for "From" and "To," which will automatically populate the “Usage” field.

5. Select the item line to copy the usage to from the dropdown menu. If the meter charge is on a separate line, choose the appropriate item line.

6. Save changes, and the system will calculate the charges based on the meter values.
