Charging meter readings to guests
For some types, you charge the guest for the gas, water or electricity they use. BEX PMS calculates the consumption from the readings at check-in and check-out.
Before you start: the meter readings module is on, and the meter types have a price.

Turn on meter readings for a type
Go to Setup > Types and open the type.
Click Edit.
At the bottom of the form, select Settle meter readings with guest.
Click Save.
The Invoicing details card on the type page shows whether the setting is on.
Record the start readings at check-in
When you check in a reservation for this type, select Fill in meter readings and enter the readings. With an energy system app, click Autofill instead.
Charge the consumption at check-out
When you check out the reservation, select Create meter readings invoice and enter the end readings, or click Autofill. BEX PMS adds the consumption to the reservation, at the price per unit of each meter type.
Forgot it at check-out? Open the reservation, click … (More), then Create meter readings invoice.
Good to know
Where does the guest's consumption appear? As extra lines on the reservation, so on the guest's invoice.
Are the guest's readings saved on the object? Yes. They appear in the Meter readings card of the object, next to the other readings.
