Definition

To load alternative historical data (AHD), you can enter either a date interval or a number of periods.

This field gives the number of periods for which you want to load consumption values. As the program should be scheduled to run regularly, adjust the number of periods to the scheduling of the load module.

To delete alternative historical data (AHD), you can enter either a date interval or a number of periods.

This field gives the number of periods for which you do not want consumption values to be deleted.

Example: you want to keep consumption values for a whole year and work with the period indicator M, so enter the value 12 in the field.
