• Key Concepts: 
  Budget billing amount is a feature of the SAP IS-U-IN Invoicing component. It allows customers to pay a fixed amount each month for their energy consumption, regardless of the actual usage. This helps customers to budget their energy costs more effectively and provides them with more predictable bills. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the budget billing amount feature, customers must first provide their estimated energy usage for the upcoming period. This estimate is then used to calculate a fixed monthly payment amount. The customer will then be billed this amount each month until the end of the period. At that time, the customer's actual energy usage will be calculated and any difference between the estimated and actual usage will be reconciled. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important for customers to provide accurate estimates of their energy usage when setting up budget billing amounts. This will help ensure that they are not overcharged or undercharged for their energy consumption. Additionally, customers should review their bills regularly to ensure that their budget billing amounts are still accurate.
