Points of delivery - newUI


A point of delivery (PoD) is the place where electricity or gas is delivered to a customer. It is identified by its PoD id. The Point of delivery list shows all your points of delivery. From it, you create a point of delivery and open its page, where you edit it, follow its events and manage its home information.

To open the list, go to Customer Care > Point of delivery. This entry is shown to users who have access to the energy features.

Point of delivery list

Each line is a point of delivery. The list shows these columns:

  • PoD id

  • Status: Active or Inactive . A point of delivery is Inactive when it is created.

  • Activation: the activation date

  • Termination: the termination date

  • Energy: ELEC or GAS

  • Provider: the distribution system operator, ENEDIS or GRDF

  • PoD address

  • Postal code

  • City

You can filter the columns, and show or hide them.

From the list, you can:

  • Click Create PoD to create a point of delivery.

  • Click Export table to download the list as an Excel file.

  • Click a point of delivery to open its page.

Building info tab: home information

Home information describes the housing that the point of delivery supplies, for one user account: the housing characteristics, the customer's consents to the collection of consumption data, and the annual reference consumption (CAR). The CAR is used to estimate invoices and to calculate the annual budget. It is reviewed every year.

The Building info tab lists the home information records of the point of delivery, one per user account, with these columns: Code, User account code, User account description and User account address.

  • Click a code to open the home information page.

  • Click New to create a home information record for this point of delivery.

The list of records and the New button are available from 18.2.0 onwards. In 18.0.0 and 18.1.0, the Building info tab shows the home information of the point of delivery directly, with the same fields and the same Edit and Save buttons. When the point of delivery has no home information yet, saving the tab creates it.

Home information page

The page is read-only when it opens. Click Edit to change it, then Save. It shows:

  • Code: generated automatically when the record is saved. It is read-only.

  • User account (mandatory): the user account the record belongs to. A user account has at most one home information record per point of delivery.

  • The consents: Half-hourly consumption consent, Pmax daily consent (daily maximum power), Monthly usage consent and Daily usage consent.

  • The housing information defined on your platform, such as the type of accommodation, the surface, the number of inhabitants or the heating. Each field shows its current value. These fields are versioned: while you edit or create the record, click the icon next to a field to manage its versions, each with a value and a validity period.

  • The annual reference consumption (CAR) table, described below.

To create a record, click New in the Building info tab, select the User account, fill in the fields and the CAR table, then click Save. You return to the point of delivery page.

Annual reference consumption (CAR)

The CAR table has one line per meter dial, with these columns:

  • Label CAR: the dial

  • CAR (contract): the contractual CAR of the dial

  • CAR (update): the updated CAR of the dial

When you create a record, you enter the Label CAR and CAR (contract) of each dial, or add the dials with Change FTA. Once the record is saved, the labels and the contractual values are read-only.

In edit mode, on a saved record:

  • Change the CAR (update) of any line, whatever the number of lines.

  • Remove a line with the action at the end of the line.

  • Add the dials of another FTA, the distribution tariff formula, for example when the customer changes offer and the meter has a different set of dials:

    1. Click Change FTA.

    2. In the Change FTA dialog, select the Calendar of the FTA.

    3. Click Confirm. One line per dial of that calendar is added to the table, at 0.

    4. Set the CAR (update) of each new line.

Click Save to save the removed lines, the added lines and the values.
