Internet connection billing format for Planning

In this video, we will take a quick tour of the features of our latest Building Manager Online Tenant Billing software module. Navigate to the BMO website using your browser. While most current browsers will work, Google Chrome is the preferred choice. Other options may exhibit some formatting irregularities. Enter your user email and password to log in. This will take you to the main user management screen where you will have easy access to the various Properties and devices assigned to your user account. The tenant billing solution includes all the features of the Basic and Advanced Reporting modules, so we would encourage you to also view the separate overviews for more details on these features. The Basic Module overview covers the initial setup of the properties, devices and points used in throughout the BMO system. For the purposes of this overview, we are going to focus on the Building Manager Online Tenant Billing module features. All the primary functions of the Tenant Billing module are found in the Billing Center. In the navigation panel on the left, you will find links to the various setup options for billing plans, service fees, rates, fee plans, and manual charges that are used in generating invoices. Just below is a list of links to all the properties assigned to the user. There is no limit on the number of properties assigned to an account. All BMO accounts are structured around the number of metering points activated on the system. So, for billing purposes, each metered item being billed will count as a metering point. For example: If billing only includes total electric usage in kilowatt hours, each tenant would only require 1 metering point. Adding water meter billing to the account would add a 2nd metering point per tenant. Any standard metered point activated in BMO would count towards your total points required for the BMO license. Every property must have a Billing Plan. Multiple properties may share a common billing plan, as is shown here, or any properties that do not share common rates and structures may have individual plans. The main Billing Plans menu lists all the billing plans and provides quick links to edit, duplicate or delete plans as you maintain the system. Setting up a billing plan begins with this short form where the plan is named, and a few key parameters are set. We expect Leviton tenant billing users will utilize the Read Bill Only (RBO) option because their accounting is done in a separate system. The billing method should be submetered, since most of the data will come from a submetering system. You can set the number of days until the invoices are due, which controls when late fees are applied. There are several options for how late fees are assessed. Late fees may be a flat amount, A percentage of the account balance, A percentage of the last invoice, Or the lesser of the last two options. In our example, we have opted for the flat amount. BMO also offers the option to allow your tenants to view their own usage data from the system through the Historian portal. To enable this option for your tenants, simply check the box. Next you can select which properties will use the billing plan. Clicking on the Properties link opens the window where you can select which properties are assigned to this billing plan. When the form is complete, click the Save button at the bottom of the screen. Next let’s take a look at Service Fees.T hese can be used for a variety of common charges like move in and move out fees, or monthly service fees. All of these fees may be assigned to any or all of the properties being managed. One of the key pieces of the tenant billing setup are the rates for each utility being billed. There are no limits to the number of rates you can create, so the system can be used to bill for any or all the utilities like electricity, water and gas. Each utility is set up with its own specific rate structure, which can be a flat amount, or follow a time of use, or tiered usage model. In addition to the standard rates and fees, the tenant billing system also allows for manual charges for other miscellaneous items. If there are other services or costs that need to be billed from time to time, the manual charges may offer a good alternative.
