Documentation

Definition

The periods to create are determined during dynamic period control. The basic period category determines how these periods are created.

Example

If the current meter reading result for billing is an estimate, the periodic billing period should be set up - this means the periodic billing period is assigned basic period category 4 (current periodic billing period). When an actual meter reading result is entered, the period between the last actual meter reading and the current meter reading should be set up - this means the backbilling period is assigned basic period category 3 (current period and past in one connected time slice).
