In this IMG activity you define required rate types. The rate type classifies the register for billing. Create a rate category for every register that is billed with its own rate.

Enter the rate type in the register or define it in the facts as an operand. A rate determination is carried out later using the rate category from the installation.

Example

Two rates types are required for our billing example:

  • On-peak rate active energy (this rate type is also used in the case of a single-rate meter)
  • Off-peak rate active energy

Other possible rate types include:

  • On-peak rate active power
  • Off-peak rate active power
  • On-peak rate reactive energy
  • Off-peak rate reactive energy
  • Gas consumption
  • Water consumption
  • Container service

Requirements

Standard settings

The above-mentioned examples are included in the standard setting.

Recommendation

Activities

Define the required rate types in the system.

Further notes

The permissibility in Customizing controls on which level the rate type can be used:

  • You must always allocate a rate type to registers relevant to billing. In doing this, you establish which rate is used for billing the consumption or demand of the register.
  • It is optional to specify a rate type for devices. It is possible to specify a rate type at the device level in two cases:
    • The device does not have any registers (for example, a ripple control receiver) - nonetheless, you wish to charge a rental price.
    • The device has registers - but you wish to determine a different rate for the rental price (refer to rate determination). In most cases for devices with a register, a rental price is determined using the rate type for the register.
  • You can specify rate types in the installation facts. In doing so, you can allocate one or more rates to installations that are not to be connected to a particular register. You also might wish to specify a rate type in the rate category for flat-rate installations without a register, such as telephone booths or sirens.
  • You can also allocate a rate type to reference values. This can be used for flat-rate installations as well.

For waste billing, you must allocate a rate type to a waste billing category. You must set the permissible for Waste Management indicator for the rate type.
