Need some feedback on a solution for rates that involve customer owned lights. We are proposing to use multi-items functionality to store different Item Types (based on the wattage) and their counts. The client would like to understand from the product managers if there are any other application modules/areas/features other than multi-item that can be leveraged to solution unmetered lights. Can you please let me know if anything else other than multi-items can be used to store unmetered lights and their counts?
Solution A-
-External application will pass time slices counts for each wattage for each billing period; KWH service quantity determined by CCS usage calculation rule.
-In this solution, a single SP will contain separate Item Types and their counts under multi-item section.
Solution B-
-External application will pass time slices counts for each wattage for each billing period; KWH service quantity determined by CCS usage calculation rule.
-In this solution, each wattage will have its own SP to avoid the time slicing problem described in Solution A. A change in a single wattage will time slice only the quantities for that SP. Multiple SPs will tie to a single SA (Service Agreement).
