Meeting notes
Topic: i-Solv Project
Notes on the meeting with i-Solv (from 10am to 2:20pm):

Attendance:

Cesar Agito, i-Solv GM
Alex Garcia, i-Solv Project Manager
Maricel Paz, i-Solv SysAd

JVAMJr, SFE Project Manager
DPP, Billing Supervisor
ELP, Encoder
FVV, OM
CFF, CA
Pie, Programmer
Gina, Pie's Asst.
Erap, Meter Reading
Mariliz, Meter Reading

i-Solv asked for the following:
1. Organizational Chart (from MSM)
2. Customer Application Form (ok)
3. Schedule of Rates (DPP, ok)
- other Rates (PPA, etc.)
4. Class Codes (Pie)
5. Chart of Accounts (MCAJr)
6. Structures of Tables (Pie)

My notes:

The Org. Chart is to determine ownerships of databases/tables.

Pie suggested that account numbers be changed into the following format: yymm99999... to reflect the date of application of each customer.

FVV, CFF, DPP & ELP disagreed and wanted to use a geographical approach.

Perhaps we can follow Apaul's old style, but we will include "yyyymm" in the last portion of the account number.

But i-Solv suggested that we assign Account ID's (separate and universally unique) to each applicant (& existing customers, I presume). I agree that this is the best approach.

We also discussed the possible hierarchical recording of customer address records according to Franchise, Feeder, Barangay, Sitio, Subd/Village, Street.

Suggestions/enhancements:

1. Record all adjusted readings for auditing purposes.
2. Criteria for disconnection -- table-based to be flexible

Questions:
1. Worst-case scenario: let's say merong customer na hindi na-reading for 2 years. How to input that?

On Wednesday, 10-27-2004, i-Solv wants our inputs and wishlists so they can documents all requirements and bound the Scope of Work.

Pie is asking for a Billing meeting so we can work out what we need to present on Wednesday. We said, FINE.

Personal notes:
FB - 5 collectors, 2 tellers

Problems:
1. Timely posting of bank payments ([almost] real-time)
2. Who will sign the Acceptance Documents? I guess one officer per module (3 modules) and the Project Manager (and the GM?)
3. How do we distribute partial payments? (Unbundling)
4. How to bill changed meters?
