3.4 Billing Systems

Overview Demonstrate and apply knowledge and understanding of how utility bills are produced from a batch processing system employing master and transaction files.

Examples of Utility Bills Electric bill Gas bill Water rates Heating bills

Electric meter

How the bill is calculated Every 3 months A person reads the present household readings by visiting and recording the information on a special data capture form Back at the head office the past reading is subtracted from this present reading and the number of units used calculated The bill = the number of units used * unit charge

Batch processing Collecting batches of data to be processed Processing a batch usually at a time when the processor is less in demand (at night) No human intervention is required Suitable for applications that need a high volume of data processed Not suitable for applications requiring immediate feedback
