RTP Components

Real-time pricing components (RTP components) define the structure of parameter allocations in the RTP interface. This structure links input, output and result parameters.

You may require various RTP components because you usually need different periods (such as summer and winter) for parameter allocations. You can allocate various time groups, such as season groups, day groups and time-of-use groups within an RTP component.

The components enable you to model various portions of a profile in the RTP interface for billing, or to prepare the portions for billing. For example, components for on-peak and off-peak rate periods as well as a component that determines the maximum demand in the whole period).

Prerequisites

Before you do this, however, you must define season types, day types and time-of-use types in Customizing under Start of the navigation path SAP Utilities Next navigation step Energy Data Management Next navigation step Basic Settings End of the navigation path and then allocate them to the corresponding season groups, day groups and time-of-use groups.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG).

You must generate codes for RTP components before you can use the components in an RTP interface.
