You use the Program Settlement Calculation Rule portal to display and maintain program settlement calculation rules.
Refer to Understanding Program Settlement Calculation Rules and Understanding Program Settlement Calculation Groups for more information.
You can access the portal by selecting Admin, select Digital Asset Management, then select Program Settlement Calculation Rule. You are brought to a query portal with options for searching. Once your record has been selected you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.
The following zones may appear as part of the portal's Main tab page:
-
Program Settlement Calculation Rule: This zone displays the program settlement calculation rule, including parameters used when executing the rule.
-
Eligibility Criteria List: This zone lists eligibility criteria for the current calculation rule. Eligibility criteria are configured criteria used to determine whether to execute a specific calculation rule.

This rule is used to calculate "kWh Avoided" program settlement transactions that represent credits that will be applied to a customer's bill based on participation in an individual event. This rule uses multiplies "kWh avoided" interval values captured on program settlement transactions by interval prices defined in an interval price set. Interval prices can be defined as specific interval price sets or can be derived from more than one interval price set by an algorithm. Note:
The base package does not include algorithms for deriving prices for use in program
settlement calculations. Implementations must configure their own algorithms if they wish
to derive prices from more than one interval price set. |

This rule is used to calculate "Combined kW Drop" program settlement transactions that represent credits that will be applied to a customer's bill based on participation in an individual event. This rule averages values captured on "kW Drop" program settlement transactions and multiplies the result by a price. Prices can be defined in the rule configuration or can be derived by an algorithm. The average "kW Drop" value (captured as the Settlement Quantity on the "Combined kW Drop" program settlement transaction) is calculated from the "Max Drop" values from the "kW Drop" program settlement transactions that fall into the "top" percentage of values defined by the Demand Drop Percentage (%) parameter. See About Program Settlement Transactions for more information about the distinction between "kW Drop" and "Combined kW Drop" program settlement transactions. Note:
The base package does not include algorithms for deriving prices
for use in program settlement calculations. Implementations must configure their own
algorithms if they wish to derive prices from more than one interval price set. |

| Incentive and Fee Calculation Rule | This rule is used to calculate incentive- and fee-based program settlement transactions that represent credits or changes that will be applied to a customer's bill based on incentives and/or fees configured for a program to which the customer subscribes. |
