Calculate Usage ERU-EDU - Regular

Use the Calculate Usage ERU - Regular routine to calculate customer/service ERU based on past usage.  This ERU method goes through the regular read history for each customer service to find the highest usage for the specified time period and then uses that usage to calculate customer ERU.  Only customer services that have an ERU type assigned are calculated.  During billing, a transaction code with a calculation type of 6-ERU can be used to multiply the calculated ERU by the transaction code's minimum charge to create the billing charge.

Notes:

• ERU Calculation:  Customer ERU = the highest Usage for the time period / multiplier.  The multiplier is the value from the ERU-EDU Table that corresponds to the customer's ERU type and rate class.

• Do not confuse Calculate Usage ERU-EDU - Regular with Calculate Usage ERu-EDU - Interim.  They are separate routines and have separate methods for calculating customer ERU values.
