Override Maps
Assume that you have contracts with customers where the standard classic TOU map is overridden on certain days, for example, for interruptions. The customer is informed of these interruptions ahead of time so that they can plan their usage accordingly. Let's assume that the price for usage during these interruption days is more than the standard TOU Price.
Let's assume that the contract identifies the following time period definitions
