Process to implement register usage charges ?

Question

Dear Experts,
Can nybdy pls tell tht how this scenario can be handled?
whther it is taken care at Device management level or billing level? if psble.
How is this process handled?
I want to create a register group with three registers types morning peak ,evening peak and normal usage hour rates where for a single day i want to (according to different usage charges) measure the consumption  for on-peak and off- peak rate types & normal usage?
e.g
register 1 morning peak(0600- 1200 hrs)consumption 100 units
register 2 evening peak (1800-2200 Hrs) consumption 200 units
register 3(1200-1800 & 2200-0600 hrs) consumption 50 units
i want that the consumption accrding to the usage hrs gets stored in different register or is there another way to incorporate this type of situation.
How this gets reflected if i create only one register?if psble.
How is this stored at the register level if for a morning peak,evening peak and normal usage hours?
Help wud be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
it sees as you should check the IS-U-EDM parts of IS-U including RTP (real time pricing). Otherwise it's quite hard to create this example.
As usually IS-U meter reading is just DAILY based, you can have one meter reading a day which is used in billing. So - if you set up three different registers those CAN contain your morning, evening and normal peak. In Billing you will have to take care of that - which will probably not that easy.
Therefore probably please consider using EDM as there ou can have reading values for each quarter of an hour (you also can have values for each hour and so on). I hope that helps a bit.
