Definition

Ignore the contract allocation of the register during extrapolation

Use

This indicator influences the analysis of the contract allocation during extrapolation of registers. If you install a register for billing in an installation and use a rate type for which this indicator is set, the installation is interpreted to have no contract allocation whether a contract exists or not.

During extrapolation of a register, the system checks for which periods a contract is allocated to the corresponding installation. The periods that are not allocated a contract are given an estimated consumption value of zero. This is because no energy should have been consumed if no business partner is allocated. If the register is allocated to several installations, an estimated consumption value of zero is only given to the periods for which none of the installations are allocated a contract. Therefore, if you set the Ignore Contract Allocation of Registers During Extrapolation indicator, a consumption value of zero may be estimated even though a contract is officially allocated to the installation.

Example 1:

A register is installed for billing in two installations. You use a rate type for both installations for which the Not indicator is set. One installation has been allocated a contract and the other has not. Outcome: A consumption value of zero is estimated for the register during extrapolation.

Example 2:

A register is installed for billing in two installations. A contract exists for the first installation but the indicator has been set for the rate type. The indicator is not set for the second installation but it is not allocated a contract. Outcome: A consumption value of zero is estimated for the register during extrapolation.

You are advised to set the indicator for rate types that you want to use in installations whose contract allocation does not reveal anything about the consumption behaviour. Such cases can arise for deregulation or for register relationships for example.

Dependencies

  • You can only set this indicator for rate types that are permissible for registers
  • Caution: Do not set the indicator for registers that are only installed for billing as this would mean that the consumption value would always be estimated as zero.
