Abhijit,

Ensure that the new rate you are trying to create (tcode EA30)is relavant for RTP interface.Check the radio button for the permissibilty is on the INTERVAL METERS.

Create a RTP Interface and assign it to the rate in the RTP Interface field.

Insert this rate in your billing schema.

Hi Abhi,

1.Rate type + rate category is used to determine the Rate in the schema ( Tcode EA87).

2. Billing class is used to determine if the customer belongs to the residential or non residential class.

3.It is a validation which takes place at every step to ensure the customer classification and hence the correct rate applied to the customer.

4. Billing class is assigned in the installation ( tcode -ES32) and it is also assigned to the rate category ( EA54).

So you use one billing class say 0001 for all your residential customers and 0002 for all non residential customers . This ensures that the correct rate gets picked .
