Dollars Tab

The Dollars tab calculates how much money an agency is charged for its water usage. These calculations are based on Target and Actual Consumption values from the the Ccf Units tab, as well as the Water Rate found on the related meter's Water Consumption Library record.

The tab displays three columns--or types--of expense figures, which are broken down by month. An annual total appears at the bottom of each column.

Column	Function
Target Budget	The amount of money budgeted for water expenses each month. Automatically calculated as: Target Consumption x Water Rate. The Target Consumption fields are found on the Ccf Units tab. The Water Rate is found on the Water Consumption Library record associated with the meter.
Actual Expenses	The actual amount of money spent on water each month. Automatically calculated as: Actual Consumption x Water Rate. The Actual Consumption amounts are found on the Ccf Units tab. The Water Rate is found on the Water Consumption Library record associated with the meter.
Target/Actual Difference	The difference between the Target Budget amount and Actual Expenses. Automatically calculated based on Actual Expenses - Target Budget. A positive number means that more money was spent that month than planned. A negative number means less money was spent that month than planned.
