Determining Overtake and Undertake Amounts 

Purpose

You use this business process to automatically process the requirements for determining overtake and undertake amounts as well as their monetary value.

You can collect, aggregate, or distribute the information necessary for settlement in an initial settlement run and make it available to the other market partners.

Since the information from this first settlement run only consists of estimations for non-interval customers, you must execute a second settlement run once the actual meter reading results are available. The second settlement run calculates the difference between the two sets of results.

You can then transfer the positive or negative amounts to billing and value them using different prices.

You can allocate the calculated differences to different prices and accord the supplier the appropriate credit or debit amount.
