Swan Water-Channel

Purpose:

- Water-Channel administration services
- Integrated accounting


Subscribers mandatory fall in groups of clients. The application automatically generates a code for each subscriber(folio) so that each subscriber's code is unique. Search for a subscriber in the database is done after name, folio, address,and in the window with general data, after CUI/CNP

Client groups can be as many as needed, for example CASE, Firm1 (companies that bill on the 1st of every month), Firm30 (companies that bill at the end of the month), etc. The user has the possibility to modify and add groups of clients anytime it is needed.

Each subscriber has one or more workstations. Each workstation has a responsible person for that workstation; according to the way the company operates this can be a cashier or a foreman.

There can be defined as many services as needed - there are codes of products and services - with defined prices and catalog of prices.

The services are defined by each user of the application, according to their type: water, channel, pluvial, taxes etc. These services are introduced in the contract made with each client.

The prices for the services are defined in price catalogs; each group of clients has associated a price catalog; if necessary, the user can make adjustments to the prices of the services.

The price in the contract can be defined in lei or Euro.
For the contracts defined in Euro the cost of services is is calculated by applied at the end of the billing day.

Client Contract Module

The services that the contract provides are defined, the place in which they are provided, the days of the week in which they are provided and the shift;
The services contained in a contract can be billed at different workstations for a client
The expiration date for the contract can be set from the begining, after which the application will no longer generate bills for that contract.

Watermeter Module

The client and the series number for his watermeter is added in this module. When the situation calls for it, the series number for the watermeter can be modified. A client can have more than one watermeter, at one or more workstations (addresses).

Watermeter reading Module

This module allows the user to introduce the clients that have watermeters that can be read from the outside(the street), the series numbers of the watermeters on each street and the index previously edited. The user is the one that sets a new index.

Contract Billing

For example, a group of clients is filtered from the contract, and the "generate bill" button is clicked.

The values of the billed services are taken from the contract according to the type of the contract: with fixed quantities or by confirmation.

There can be many watermeter readings without being billed. At billing the application cumulates the quantities for all the readings.

When generating, the time interval for which the bill is issued has to be selected; for example, if a bill is done in August, for August, September and October, the application will not generate another bill for the months September and October for that particular client.

Bills can be printed individually or in lots. There are different criteria and filters that can be set for printing for example group of clients, street, interval of time, date of billing.

Penalty Module

This module calculates the penalties for a group of clients or selected sector; the module is flexible and allows access to the administrator to set a percentage for penalties, the date from which the penalty should be applied, respecting the legislation.

The previously calculated penalty is taken from the client's bill when the bill of benefits is generated .

There is the possibility of removing the penalties calculation from a certain bill; at any moment the user can go back to this state.

All specific reports for administrating the sanitation services are generated: issued bills and influx for each type of subscribers, streets, cashiers, contracts from a certain date, additional papers for a certain date, balance of clients according to their type, confirmation centralization, sheet for penalty calculation etc.; contracts, notifications, summons can be printed.

Receipts Module

The receipt can be done through the Register/Bank Module or through the Cash Desk Module.

Cash Desk Module

It allows a quick way of adding the influx from billing. The list of subscribers is displayed and the balance. Search can be easily done by name, folio or address. If a client has more bills, the payment can be done in the following ways:

- the amount is automatically evenly distributed, taking into consideration the date of the bill;

- the user is the one who chooses which bill will be paid, in his desired order;

The receipt can be either printed or sent to the cash register. The name of the cashier appears on each receipt.
