Defining Interval Values
Open to maintain interval values.
Interval values must reference a bill factor. You must set up a bill factor before you can define interval prices. Refer to Setting Up Bill Factors for more information.
Description of Page
Interval Value Set is a concatenation of important information about the data set. The Interval Value Set ID is a system-assigned random number that stays with an interval value set for the life of the system. This value is assigned when the set is first added.
All interval pricing information must reference a predefined Bill Factor, Characteristic Type, and Characteristic Value. Use the Bill Factor Characteristic search button to select all three values. Refer to Setting Up Bill Factors for more information.
Use Set Date / Time to define the effective date of the set of prices or values defined in the following grid. This is considered a server date and will follow the seasonal time shifting as defined on the base time zone. Refer to Seasonal Time Shifts 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 Value Date / Time and the Interval Value are captured. This date is considered a logical date and will follow the seasonal time shifting as defined on the bill factor / characteristic. Refer to Seasonal Time Shifts for more information.
If seasonal time shift records are linked to both the base time zone and the bill factor/characteristic, the Seasonal Time Shift associated with your bill factor/characteristic is displayed. Refer to Setting Up Bill Factor Characteristics for more information.
If seasonal time shift records are linked to both the base time zone and the bill factor/characteristic, 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 bill factor/characteristic or the base time zone do not indicate a seasonal time shift record, then the toggle button will not be visible and data is displayed and expected in standard time.
Where Used
Various rate component algorithms make use of interval pricing information.
