In this case. I write a cron task with java code to generate record every day.

3．  Define three usage meter: EACHAS, EACHWO, EACHTK. They are used to associate location usage that tell you the quantity of every month which the customer generate. go to [organizations(sp)]-> select action-> usage Meter, and configure it.  These usage record which generate automatically every month with customer CornTask,assume this class named "MonCronTask".  we should write another CornTask which generate record for customer daily.
