Base Package Register Rules
If the register rule algorithms that are supplied with the base package are not sufficient for your rating requirements, you will have to write a new register rule algorithm. Refer to How to Add a New Register Rule for how to do this.

Algorithm Type |
What It Does |
Parameters Used |
|
Bill Factor Based UOM Conversion |
BU |
Converts a measured quantity into a final quantity using the value specified on a bill factor. Final Quantity (expressed in the UOM in param 2) = Quantity for UOM (in param 1) * Value for Bill Factor (in param 3) This algorithm would be useful when you need to convert cubic feet (CCF) into therms based on the takepoint from which the premise gets its gas. |
Param 1 = Measured UOM Param 2 = Final UOM Param 3 = Bill Factor containing conversion factor |
|
Real Time Pricing |
RT |
Converts a measured quantity (UOM) into a final quantity (Result SQI) by multiplying the measured quantity by the price (Bill Factor) effective on the read's start date/time. Final Quantity (expressed in the SQI in param 3) = Quantity for UOM (in param 1) * Value for Real Time Bill Factor (in param 2) Note, this option is useful if you have simple real time pricing algorithms and do not use the interval billing subsystem. Refer to Pricing Interval Consumption Using Interval Prices for more information. |
Param 1 = UOM Param 2 = Bill Factor Param 3 = Resultant SQI |
|
Seasonal Register TOU Conversion |
ST |
Converts time-of-use codes of "current season" and "prior season" to "winter" and "summer" based on the billing period. Summer Begin Date contains the MMDD when summer starts. Winter Begin Date contains the MMDD when winter starts. Current Season TOU contains the TOU code of the register that measures the current season's consumption. Prior Season TOU contains the TOU code of the register that measures the prior season's consumption. Winter TOU contains the TOU code to be used for winter consumption (the register read's TOU code is changed to this for winter consumption). Summer TOU contains the TOU code to be used for summer consumption (the register read's TOU code is changed to this for summer consumption). |
Param 1 = Summer Begin Date (MMDD) Param 2 = Winter Begin Date (MMDD) Param 3 = Current Season TOU Param 4 = Prior Season TOU Param 5 = Winter TOU Param 6 = Summer TOU |

Where Used
A primary Rate Schedule may have zero or more register rules. Refer to Rate Schedule - Register Rules for more information.
