Designing Your Classic TOU Map Relationship Types

The starting point for designing your TOU map relationship types is the rate. First, identify the relationship types that your rate needs in order to successfully map quantities.

Using the above rate as an example, only two TOU map relationship types are required because the Reactive Demand map is linked directly to the rate component. However, let's add a relationship type for reactive demand also in case it is needed in the future.

TOU Map Relationship Type

ACTVDMD

Active Demand

RACTVDMD

Reactive Demand

CURTAIL

Now you must think of other types of maps that may need to be linked to the service agreement in order to successfully produce a bill. For example, are there any data derivation algorithms that require a classic TOU Map? If so, you need to define an appropriate classic TOU map relationship type to define the role for this map.
