Optimized Tariffs and Billing Management
The Tariffs and Billing page provides an overview of all billing rules and their associated tariffs. This page utilises an optimised layout for faster data loading and includes enhanced usability features.
Key Features
- ⚡ Persistent Filtering: Any filters applied to the billing rule list are saved and will remain active, even if you refresh the page or navigate away and return later.
- 🔎 Billing Rule Details View: You can click on any billing rule to access its dedicated Billing Rule Details page, which provides a comprehensive breakdown of the rule's configuration, validity, pricing, and exceptions.
Billing Rule Details Page Breakdown
The Billing Rule Details page presents complete information about a specific billing rule, organised into the following sections:
Section | Description |
Rule Identification | Displays the unique identifiers for the specific billing rule: Rule ID and Rule Internal ID. Use this when reporting communicating with support teams. |
Tariff | Defines the tariff this rule belongs to, including the Tariff ID, Tariff group (if applicable), and the associated CPO Network. |
Price | Shows the pricing components of the rule: Starting price, Energy fee, Time fee, and Parking/Idle time fee. The description indicates if the fee is Fixed or Per Minute. |
CPO | Specifies the CPO context where the billing rule is active. This section details the hierarchical level of application: rules can be set broadly (e.g. applied to Any Country, or CPO) or very specifically by setting parameters like a particular CPO entity. |
eMSP | Specifies the eMSP context for the rule. This section details the hierarchical level of application: rules can apply broadly (e.g. to Any eMSP Contract) or be highly specific to the level of eMSP or Retail Package. |
Validity | Specifies the general date and time window when the rule is active: Start date, End date and Day of week + Time of week, within the range of Start to End date. |
Exceptions
If a billing rule includes specific conditions that override the general parameters, these are listed as exceptions. We distinguish 3 different exception types:
Exception Type | Description |
Time-based exception | Defines specific days and time slots (e.g., M, T, W from 13:00 to 14:00) that override the standard validity. |
Location-based exception | Applies unique pricing or rules to a defined set of locations or tokens. This includes detailed lists of Charge locations (stations by name and address) and specific Charge tokens (by GUID and name) where the exception is active. |
