Bill verification
Bill verification compares the utility invoice against what Augos measured on your tariff. These pages cover capturing a bill, the date rules and reading the result.
The automated bill verification emails
Augos sends two automated emails: one when a verification shows a variance, one when no bill has been captured for a period.
Bill Verification, step by step
The long version: what a verification actually does, the consecutive date rule, capturing the bill, reading the result, and the two charges that trip people up.
A charge is missing, or the report saved but looks empty
No field for a charge on your bill means it is not on the site's tariff scheme.
Date rules, and "invalid date range"
Verification periods run consecutively, with no overlap and no gap — the new period starts the day after the previous reading date.
Deleting or correcting a captured bill
You cannot delete a captured bill from the interface.
Understanding a bill verification variance
The shape of the variance tells you the cause: a consistent percentage points at a CT ratio, a sign that flips points at estimated readings, cost-only points at the tariff.
What Bill Verification is, and how to capture a bill
Bill verification compares what your utility charged you against what Augos measured on your tariff.
