Classic TOU Maps Serve a Role for a Service Agreement
A classic TOU map may be linked to a service agreement to serve a variety of purposes, for example:
• Rate algorithms map interval quantities in order to apply prices for each TOU.
• Data derivation algorithms compare quantities to TOU values in order to validate the data or produce a new curve.
When linking a classic TOU map to a service agreement, the role that it is serving must be indicated. The "role" is specified using a classic TOU Map Relationship Type.
This is the same model as the one used to link interval profiles to service agreements. Refer to Interval Data Serves a Role for a Service Agreement for more information.
If a TOU pricing rate component indicates a classic TOU map relationship type, it is used to find the correct classic TOU map for the service agreement for mapping the interval data. Refer to Setting Up Classic TOU Mapping Rate Components for more information.
