In a deregulated energy market, an energy supplier for commercial and industrial customers must be able to proivide complex offerings to prospective customers. To support these offerings, the supplier must have the capabilities to bill for complex pricing using interval meter readings.

After the customer and supplier come to agreement on the supply contract terms, the supplier must model the complex pricing for the contract in its billing system. During service provision, the supplier will receive interval meter readings from the appropriate meter reading company (this may be the distribution company, independent metering company, the customer, or the supplier's own meter reading department). The supplier will perform validations on these meter readings and repair any errors found before posting the readings to the database.

At billing time, the interval data will be summarized into billing determinants as determined by the contract pricing. The billing system will then apply the pricing to these billing determinants to come up with the energy charges. The charges will be placed onto an invoice and then sent to the customer for payment

In case of interval meters,the consumption will be recorded say after every 30 minutes.Now this is dependent on the kind of EDM profile allocation.Billing can then be performed based on real time pricing.

Search a bit,i'm sure u can find more info.

In SAP terms, youu2019ll have a register group, where a register has interval length ( e.g. 15 minutes) enabled.

Then you have an interval meter.

As stated earlier help.sap.com for EDM and Device Management should deliver plenty information.

Hi Ashish,

Interval Meters are simply those meters which can provide meter reading at a specified intervals in a day .To identify an interval meter simply go to transaction EG06 (Register Group display ) , just give your reg no/ reg name (suppose that there is only one register inside your register group). Inside the register group see if the register that you are using have any entry in the Interval Length field . If there are, corresponding devices which are made from device category having this register group can be called as Interval meters . In SAP IS-U we can use the module EDM (Energy Data Management) to deal with this interval meters .

If u need clarifications please feel free to revert at any time
