Tips for Success

Tip 1: Use the AN27 Report

The AN27 report is a visual bill audit, which lets you "eyeball" your bills for accuracy.

Tip 2: Display by Meter Group

For a fast review of meter data, use the option in Buildings & Meters to "Display by Meter Group."

Tip 3: Enter Bills Faster

To enter bills faster, pre-sort the bills by vendor. This will quicken your speed as you enter bills. Also avoid touching your mouse during bill entry. Use only keys.

Tip 4: Only Process What You Need

While there is a variety of data that can be processed in different ways, be selective about the data you process at one time.

Tip 5: Use Our Services for Greater Value

Our two new services--Bill CAPture and EDITS will enhance your value:

• Through Bill CAPture, eliminate manual entry of utility bills for all utility bill scenarios.
