Interval Data Maintenance
The Interval Data page is used to create and maintain collections of interval data, grouped together by an interval data set, for a given interval profile. The data that is maintained here may be for a common interval profile or for an SA owned interval profile.
Open to maintain interval data.
This page is only available if the Complex Billing module is not turned off.
Description of Page
Interval Data Set is a concatenation of important information about the data set. The Interval Data Set ID is a system-assigned random number.
Indicate the Interval Profile ID to which this data set is linked.
It is possible that the profile cannot be identified when adding interval data. If the Interval Profile is not populated, the Data Set External ID must be populated. Refer to Upload Interval Data for more information.
The Owner SA indicates the SA that "owns" this data. This information is only populated for SA owned profiles. This field is useful if the data set you are viewing contains an error and the error is related to a different source profile for the service agreement. You may use the context button to quickly navigate to the service agreement to view other profiles related to the service agreement. Refer to how to correct a data set in error for more information.
The Data Set External ID is the external identifier of the interval profile. It may be used when a profile cannot be found for data interfaced from outside the system. Refer to Upload Interval Data for more information.
The Set Date/Time of the Interval Data Set represent when this collection of data was entered or received. This is considered a server date and follows the seasonal time shifting as defined on the base time zone. Refer to Seasonal Time Shifts for more information.
Refer to Algorithms Find the Most Up-To-Date Data for more information about the Set Date /Time and its use in algorithms.
The Data Set Type is available for classification of the data set in some way. The value currently available with the system is No Data. Refer to Fixing Errors with Complete Data for more information about using this data set type.
The values for Data Set Type are customizable using the lookup table. This field name is INTV_DS_TYPE_FLG.
The Status indicates the status of the interval profile data set. Click the Cancel DS button to cancel a Pending or Error data set.
Refer to Lifecycle of Interval Profile Data for more information about interval data set status.
Use the Revert button to reverse the effect of a Complete data set.
Refer to Fixing Errors with Complete Data for more information.
Use the Start Date/Time to indicate the starting point for the display of the interval data.
At least one interval data record must exist in the collection of interval data. For each interval data record, the Interval Data Date/Time and the Interval Data value are captured. This date is considered a logical date and follows the seasonal time shifting as defined on the interval profile type. Refer to Seasonal Time Shifts for more information.
If the data set is in Error status, a Message that provides the error information is displayed below the interval data collection.
If seasonal time shift records are linked to both the base time zone and the interval profile type, the Seasonal Time Shift associated with your interval profile type is displayed. Refer to Setting Up Interval Profile Types for more information.
Refer to Interval Time Display for more information. If the data is displayed in legal time use the Show in Standard button to toggle to standard time. If the data is displayed in standard time use the Show in Legal button to toggle to legal time. If either the bill factor/characteristic or the base time zone does not indicate a seasonal time shift record, the toggle button is not visible and data is displayed and expected in standard time.
If seasonal time shift records are linked to both the base time zone and the interval profile type, the Seasonal Time Shift Remark indicates whether the data is displayed and should be entered in legal time or standard time. Refer to Interval Time Display for more information. If the data is displayed in legal time use the Show in Standard button to toggle to standard time. If the data is displayed in standard time use the Show in Legal button to toggle to legal time. If either the interval profile type or the base time zone does not indicate a seasonal time shift record, the toggle button is not visible and data is displayed and expected in standard time.
