Hi Neelima

Here is ur answer..

Budget billing is a scheme or policy or procedure which is adopted in a utility company for the purpose to facilitate its customers to make them feel the ease in paing the bills.

for ex.the customers pays 200 euros every month what ever is his bill for the particular month and then atlast at the end of the year he sttles the extra amount if he need to pay based upon the total consumpation for the whole year or if the utility company needs to pay him then he gets it if he has paid more for the year .In european countries this procedure is very effective sine the consumption of power is more in winter than in summer so the bill in winter is drastically high.so to facilitae such issues utlity company adopts such schems.they also call these as easy payment procedure.

Periodic Billing,is nothing but the normal billing procedure which the utility company adopts in generating the bill to a particular customer for every year monthly or bimonthly which is preiod for the whole year .our billing system is india vat we pay is periodic.

back billing is adopted whenever the consumption from a particular customer goes high or goes too low.its nothing but the re billing foir the same time slice.whenever there is a back billing it raises 2 possibilities,either it will be raised since the customer is unsatisfied with the huge bill even though the consumption was normal or from the agent since he feels the bill is too less even at normal consumption

technically in sap use tcode ea55 to select vattype of billing u wish 2 adopt for a particular biklling class.here u sleect the push buttons for them and billing has to made again using easibi tocde but using difernt meter reading entries and for differnt timeslices if needed.
