Buildings - edit

In Utilmate, Buildings are also known as Sites or Network Nodes. They represent physical locations within your utility network — such as apartment buildings, office complexes, or industrial sites — where services are delivered.

Buildings are a core part of how Utilmate operates. They impact several key areas:

Customer Management: Every customer account is linked to a building, which defines where services are provided.

Reporting: Many reports are structured around buildings, making them essential for accurate data analysis.

Default Pricing: Pricing structures (eg tariffs, service charges) are associated to the building level. 

Always ensure that buildings are set up correctly and maintained accurately. Mistakes here can affect billing, reporting, and overall service delivery.

To edit a building, go to the Maintenance menu, Utility Services and select Buildings. Click the building (by clicking on the row)  you want to edit and click on the Edit button. 

The "Edit Buildings" wizard is opened. Add or delete the attributes, then click Save.

Important:  Billing day - this is used if you are using the billing calendar to control when each building is being billed.  If you are, and you would like to bill this building to the current day, set the billing day to the current day's date eg. if today is 20 January, set the billing day to 20.
