Billing Summary Notes

NOTE: We're in the process of rolling out the accounting API to all of the utilities we support. Accounting information is currently only available for Ameren, AustinEnergy, BLUEWATER, ComEd, ConEd, Duke, ENERGYCO, EPE, ESSEX, EVERSOURCE, EVRSRC, FPL, IEDR, LADWP, LAKEFRONT, NATGD, PCE, PEPCO, PG&E, PPL, PSEG, SCE, SDG&E, SRP, SSMPUC, SVCE, SWEPCO, SoCalGas, TEP, and WELLAND.

We do everything we can to check the values that appear in a Billing Summary but sometimes the utility simply doesn't provide the information we need or the information they do provide is conflicting. In these circumstances, we add a note to the billing summary to make it clear that something is amiss so you can double-check the values against the source documents.

Attribute	Format	Description	Example
`type`	Note Type	The type of note. See list below for list of types.	`"audit_failed_on_new_charges"`
`msg`	String	A human readable description of the note. It may be tweaked often, so don't rely on it always staying the same for a given type.	`"This billing summary's new charges don't add up to the new account balance. Please double check the source file to make sure the billing summary data is correct."`
`ts`	ISO8601	The timestamp of note.	`"2016-01-01T12:30:24.653422+00:00"`
…		Extra attributes based on `type` (see below).

Examples
