Result Functions
Definition
Result Functions are defined executable ABAP calculation modules utilized exclusively within the RTP Interface designed to condense an expansive sliced Interval array structurally into a single definitive mathematical Operand value outputted for standard Invoicing.
Business Purpose and Architecture
Once an RTP Component successfully splits a smart meter profile and isolates exactly 800 Interval readings corresponding purely to “Off-Peak” times, the billing engine still cannot functionally attach a monetary rate to an array of 800 disparate numbers. Architecturally, Result Functions resolve this mapping. An integrated function (such as ISU_EDM_RESULT_0001 - SUM) digests the 800 intervals, algorithmically tallies them, and produces a single absolute MWh volume. That solitary result is then wired securely into the Rate Steps to be accurately priced.
