Background and strategic fit

Expanding the Bill data to include quantities allows customers to track more accurately the charges and amounts that they are being billed for.

Assumptions

  • All Quantities on previous bills will not be updated

  • ViewBill output will be longer (extended) since Charge Summary output will be grouped by Qty and Rate
