Date Year : March 2011

Adviser : JANELYN A. AMBRE, BSCS

Objectives of the Study

The researchers aim to create an automated billing system to enhance

the billing system of the Lagangilang Water District. They aim:

1. To make the computations more efficient and faster.

2. To lessen redundancy and time consumed.

3. To computerize the ledger of each concessionaire.

4. To print receipts using continuous receipt.

Methodology

The researchers use the descriptive-developmental design in this

study. The descriptive treatment is employed in the discussion of the manual

operation of the Lagangilang Water District that includes human resources,

physical resources and financial and office operations, as well as the

capabilities and constraints of the existing system.

Page 6: LWD-ABS

vi

The design aims to replace the manual operation to automation and

increase the level of user’s knowledge in computer operation. The procedures

included different phases: System Analysis, System Design, Development,

and Documentation.

Conclusion

The manual operation of Lagangilang Water District encounters a lot of

problems in different areas. Most likely is the slow and inaccurate

computation thus, the manual computations may lead to a lot of chaos and

errors; difficulty in reports generating – either no reports will be generated or

they are generated with great difficulty, so reports take time. Inability of

modification of data, the managing of huge data effectively and efficiently for

efficient results, storing the concessionaire’s summary of bills and temporary

ledger. Lot of paper works result to loss of even a single paper leads to

difficult situation and there are too much paper works.

The researchers therefore conclude that automation is a big help to a

working environment which operations are done manually.

Recommendation

The researchers therefore recommend the proposed automated billing

system to the personnel involved in the billing procedure and other

operations for a faster, easier and more accessible billing of the Water

District and for a more secured storage of files and records.

INTRODUCTION

Situation Analysis

Technology is a term referring to whatever can be said at any

particular historical period, concerning the state of the art in the whole

general field of practical know-how and tool use. It is the process by which

humans modify nature to meet their need and wants.

So far, humans are now using high technology to perform tasks having

less effort and less time to consume. An automated billing system is a

combination of a software application and a database designed to take

customer information regarding charges to be collected from him. Automated

systems are intended to replace the current manually operated systems.

It is important to continuously improve the billing system because it

either grows or declines and in so doing the strategies change as well.

The Lagangilang Water District uses the manual process which they

wish to be converted into an automated system to attain an effective billing

system and to cope with technology trends.

Objectives of the Study

The researchers aim to create an automated billing system to enhance

the billing system of the Lagangilang Water District. They aim:

1. To make the computations more efficient and faster.

Page 12: LWD-ABS

2

2. To lessen redundancy and time consumed.

3. To computerize the ledger of each concessionaire.

4. To print receipts using continuous receipt.

Significance of the Study

Organizations today admit that having efficient and effective

management will help them attain success. This will help them become

responsive and alert to the demands of the consumers.

The study is important more especially for the satisfaction of its

concessionaires. They want fast acquisition of information for them to be

prepared for unexpected charges.

The study is also important to the staff of the Lagangilang Water

District for them to have less effort, less time consumed and no more

hazards in monitoring and computing the bills of the concessionaires.

This study will give the researchers ideas in the formulation of an

automated billing system. The result of the study will help the areas that

need improvement.

Scope and Delimitation

The study is only limited to the operations of the Lagangilang Water

District and its primary concern is the automated billing system that is

accessible only by the General Manager and the authorized staff. The system

supports record handling such as adding, deleting, editing, and updating

Page 13: LWD-ABS

3

concessionaries’ record. The record contains the information of a

concessionaire and his summary of bills.

Each concessionaire is assigned a unique account number so there is

no possibility for redundant data and it is easier to retrieve information.

The system also covers the automated computation of the

concessionaires’ water bill and printing bills.

Furthermore, the system will provide a concise billing history of every

concessionaire that is available for viewing and printing purposes. The

system does also include cashier system which accepts payment. It also

includes monthly and annual reports.

Definition of Terms

Automated billing system is a combination of a software application and a

database designed to take information regarding charges to be collected.

Software application is designed to help the user to perform singular or

multiple related specific tasks.

Database is a collection of related data. It is an accumulation of data for

storage and future use.

Cubic meter used is the difference between the present reading and the

previous reading.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The use of billing systems make it possible to manage the invoicing

process with greater efficiency, saving the company both money and time.

Tatum (2011) states that there are several features that are common to

automated billing system. In most cases, the software is designed to allow

the creation of the customer profiles which contain all the data needed to

accurately prepare the invoice.

Automated billing works very well with situations where a customer

has a standing order, or there is recurring payment that must be requested

on a weekly or monthly basis. With this application, the system can be

configured to automatically generate standing or recurring invoices to the

appropriate customers, thus eliminating the need for one or more employees

to spend hours on this repetitive task. The end result is that personnel can

be utilized for different functions, allowing the work day to be more

productive and thus cost efficient (Tatum, 2011).

Mostafa (2005) stresses that telecommunication companies need an

effective and accurate billing system to be able to assure their revenue.

Billing systems process the usage of network equipment that is use during

the service usage. The billing process involves receiving billing records from

various networks, determining the billing rates associated with the billing

records, calculating the cost for each billing record, aggregating these

Page 17: LWD-ABS

7

records periodically to generate invoices, sending invoices to the customer

and collecting payments.

Mostafa (2005) further states that one of the big issues of any billing

system is how, when, and where the companies should bill their customers.

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The researchers used the descriptive-developmental design in this

study. The descriptive treatment is employed in the discussion of the manual

operations of the Lagangilang Water District that includes human resources,

physical resources and financial and office operations, as well as the

capabilities and constraints of the existing system.

The design aims to replace the manual operation to automation and

increase the level of user’s knowledge in computer operation.

Procedure

The proposed Lagangilang Water District Automated Billing System

was developed through the system development phases, which consists of

system analysis, design, programming, testing and debugging, and

documentation.

Step 1: System Analysis

System analysis involves a detailed study of the current system,

leading to the specifications of a new automated system. It also includes a

detailed study of various operations performed on a system and their

relationships within and outside the system. The boundary of the new system

Page 19: LWD-ABS

9

must also consider keeping in view the problems and new requirements and

of what consumers want to affect in the new automated system.

The researchers used the conceptual framework as system analysis

technique, data dictionary and miniature specifications in order to be

familiarized with both detailed operations of the system and the required for

the system.

Furthermore, the researchers called for interviews, on-site

observations and actual experiences as tools for system analysis which were

utilized to determine the flow of existing system and how transactions were

done using the manual operations.

Step 2: System Design

This system is the production of design for a new automated system. It

specifies changes to existing programs and specifies a new database or

changes to the existing database.

The design of the system necessarily includes the hardware and software

requirements – computer requirements to install the Lagangilang Water

District Automated Billing System, the database scheme-structure on how to

store records, billing and computing of bills.

Step 3: Development

In this phase, codes or programs are written. The researchers used

Visual Basic 6.0 programming language to develop the proposed system.

After designing the new system, the whole system is required to be

Page 20: LWD-ABS

10

converted into a language understandable by the computer. Coding the new

system into computer programming language does this. After codifying the

whole programs of the system, a test plan was developed and run on a given

set of test data. The output of the test run should match the expected

results.

During this phase, the components were also built during the

development and were put into operational use. In such run for a certain

defined period, both systems – the computerized and manual are executed in

parallel. Manual results can be compared with the results of the

computerized system. It is used as a basis to develop the system function

and its interface.

Step 4: Testing and Debugging

In this phase, the researchers tested and corrected the codes and

programs. However, the programs were subjected to debugging. Debugging

includes the process of correcting program errors.

Likewise, the researchers’ analysis regarding the comparison between

the existing system and the proposed system were used as a basis to

develop the system’s functions.

Step 5: Documentation

The researchers produced documents from the results of system

development from system analysis to testing phases. The document includes

Page 21: LWD-ABS

11

GUIs that explain the flow of the system, codes, screen design and text

explaining the features of the automated billing system.

Instrumentation

The researchers called for interviews, observation and the actual

experience regarding the printed bills and charges. These were used to

analyze, design and develop the automation.

Data Gathering

Data gathering is one of the most important tasks researchers possibly

ever have to do. The researchers collected data through interviews, actual

experiences and observation.

Page 22: LWD-ABS

Chapter 4

PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS DESIGN

Processes in the Existing System

The monthly procedures of the Lagangilang Water District Office:

1. The Meter Reader reads the water meter of the concessionaire, and

then submits the meter reading to the Billing Clerk/Data Encoder.

2. The Billing Clerk then posts the meter reading then computes the cubic

meter used then its peso equivalent.

3. After computation, the Billing Clerk manually makes the water bill and

notices of the concessionaires.

4. After billing, the Billing Clerk turns over the notices of the

concessionaires to the Meter Reader.

5. The Meter Reader distributes the notices to the concessionaires.

6. Concessionaires pay their water bills to the Meter Reader or to the

Cashier at the LWD office.

7. Billing Clerk then posts the paid bills based on the official Cashier’s

receipt.

Problem Analysis of the Existing System

The manual operation of Lagangilang Water District encounters a lot of

problems in different areas. Most likely is the slow and inaccurate

computation thus, the manual computations may lead to a lot of chaos and

errors; difficulty in reports generating – either no reports will be generated or

Page 23: LWD-ABS

13

they are generated with great difficulty, so reports take time. Inability of

modification of data, the managing of huge data effectively and efficiently for

efficient results, storing the concessionaire’s summary of bills and temporary

ledger. Lot of paper works result to loss of even a single paper leads to

difficult situation and there are too much paper works.

Overview of the Proposed System

The proposed Lagangilang Water District Automated Billing System is

supposed to replace the manual operations done in the Lagangilang Water

District. Billing and payment transactions are done electronically, not the

usual way in which they will enter all the entries in the notice of collection

receipt, stub and official receipt manually and repeatedly. These will be

printed thereafter using continuous form. The computation of bills and

payments is also automated. There is no need to compute using the

calculator which will have the possibility of an inaccurate result. Billing and

payment are made easier and faster because it is easier to search for the

record of a certain concessionaire. The concessionaire needs only the account

number or if in case it is forgotten, resort into the first and last name.

Another function that the Lagangilang Water District Automated Billing

System offers is the electronic registration of new concessionaire. The data of

a new concessionaire will be entered into the system by any of the

authorized staff. The new account will be automatically added and saved to

the record of all concessionaires.

The Lagangilang Water District Automated Billing System generates

reports classified to Individual Record and All Records which enable the

Manager/ authorized staff to summarize bills, to update reports that are

concerned with accounts payable and to track gross and net incomes for a

certain period of time.

Page 27: LWD-ABS

17

Additional features one can avail from the system are the User List,

which contains the records of who can avail the system; the User Option,

which can add, edit or change, and delete a user; the Rate/Cubic form, which

lists the amount of Cubic Meter used; and the option to edit the new changes

of rate per cubic.

The special feature of the system is that the database used is secured

so that no one can change the information of each concessionaire except the

administrator. The system is also provided with a Back Up Database feature

just in case of data loss.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary

The present billing system of Lagangilang Water District operates

manually thus the work of the Billing Clerk is very tiresome and the Billing

Clerk or staff spends much time in computing bills and updating their records

from time to time and inaccurate entry of data sometimes occur. Duplicate of

payments may also the problem of every concessionaire. To lessen these

problems, the researchers come up with a proposed billing system that could

lessen and hasten the work of the staff as well as the concessionaire.

Conclusions

The primary problem being encountered with the existing system is

that more time and effort is consumed on the part of Billing Clerk and other

staff. The present system needs more time to finish the operations. In the

proposed Lagangilang Water District Automated Billing System, all these

things will be done in one place, in a lesser time. Thus, automation of the

present system is a great help to a working environment which operations

are done manually. The study was able to achieve file management involving

fewer papers to maintain.

Page 32: LWD-ABS

22

Recommendations

The researchers therefore recommend the proposed automated billing

system to the personnel involved in the billing procedure and other

operations for a faster, easier and more accessible billing of the Water

District and for a more secured storage of files and records.

APPENDIX B. Transcript of Interview

1. How are transactions done in your office?

The Meter Reader reads the water meter of the concessionaire, and

then submits the meter reading to the Billing Clerk/Data Encoder. The

Billing Clerk then post the meter reading then computes the cubic meter

used then its peso equivalent. After computation, the Billing Clerk

manually makes the water bill and notices of the concessionaires. After

billing, the Billing Clerk turns over the notices of the concessionaires to

the Meter Reader. The Meter Reader distributes the notices to the

concessionaires. Concessionaires pay their water bills to the Meter Reader

or to the Cashier at the LWD office. Billing Clerk then post the paid bills

based on the official Cashier’s receipt.

2. In that transaction, what are the difficulties you and your staff most

encounter? In

In our transactions, we found difficulties in computation of bills

because it is manually done and it has a high percentage to have

mistakes. Storing of important documents and files also a hazard process

and it may be the reason of information lose.

3. What are the processes in your office you wish to be automated?

We wish to make some automation on the computation of bills and

payment. Include also the monthly and annual report of bills and

payments of the concessionaire.
