Summary

The Consumption by Class Report displays the consumption of UB customer accounts that belong to account classes. The report can be filtered by the meter read date and service (water, electric, etc.). Account classes are user-defined groupings of customer accounts that are attached to UB customer accounts on the Account Master Maintenance window (UB> Maintenance> Account> Lot tab> Details section).

The report will only display the consumption on meters that are attached to UB customer accounts that belong to an account class. The consumption on unbilled meter readings will be included on the report.
