Definition

The RTP interface is a data object that links the Energy Data Management (IS-U-EDM) and Contract Billing (IS-U-BI) components.

The RTP interfaces enables you to use the profiles maintained in IS-U-EDM in IS-U billing.

For more information, see General Information on the RTP Interface.

Use

To use the RTP interface for billing, you have to allocate the interface to a rate. This allocation is only possible for rates for which you have selected the Permitted for interval meters field.

You also define result parameters in the RTP interface that refer to an operand category. In the rate facts, you allocate the result parameters to input operands of the relevant rate steps with the same operand category. This allocation is only possible for rates for which you have selected the Permitted for interval meters field.

Dependencies

In the rate steps, each rate must supply at least one RTP operand with a result parameter from the RTP interface. However, the rate does not have to use all the result parameters from the RTP interface.

Example

You want to use the measured consumption from a profile to bill according to on- and off-peak periods.

To do this you define an RTP interface with the following result parameters:

  • 001 on-peak consumption (operand category: QUANT)
  • 002 off-peak consumption (operand category: QUANT)

You create rate steps in the RTP rate that valuate on- and off-peak consumption:
001 QUANTI01 ONCONSM ONPRICE --> ONAMNT
002 QUANTI01 OFFCONSM OFFPROCE --> OFFAMNT

You define the operands ONCONSM and OFFCONSM as RTP operands. In the rate facts you allocate result parameter 001 to operand ONCONSM and result parameter 002 to operand OFFCONSM.
