Energy
Energy: asset/SCADA, cost, GRC, OHS, monitoring.
Challenges
- The meter-reading period does not match the billing period, so reconciliation drags on.
- The loss-and-theft ratio is not calculated, so network loss stays invisible.
- A tariff change forces retroactive invoice corrections.
- Subscriber debt and consumption do not sit on the same screen.
Workflows
From reading to invoice
- The meter reading is recorded per period.
- Consumption is computed as the difference from the previous reading.
- The period tariff is applied and the subscriber invoice is produced.
Losses and reconciliation
- Energy entering the network and energy billed to subscribers are compared.
- The loss-and-theft ratio is reported per period.
- A tariff correction is settled with a difference invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I enter meter readings into the system?
Yes — periodic readings are recorded and consumption is computed as the difference from the previous one.
Can I bind a tariff to a period?
Yes — every tariff carries a validity period and the invoice uses that period's tariff.
Can I measure the loss-and-theft ratio?
Yes — energy entering the network is compared with energy billed and the ratio follows.
Can I see subscriber debt alongside consumption?
Yes — the subscriber is a customer account, so debt and consumption sit on the same card.
Can I make retroactive corrections?
Yes — the correction is settled with a difference invoice and past records stay intact.
