    Allocation date for meter reading

    System Response

    This date is used during billing and preliminary demand processing for
    allocating the meter reading result to a month. The date is assigned
    chronologically. For example, if demand is entered on 04/29/1999, you
    can use an allocation date so that the allocation takes place in May
    (05/05/1999). The result is allocated to a season via the day and the
    month of the allocation date. For example, a meter reading with
    allocation date 06/17/1998 takes place during the summer period, from
    06/15/1998 to 09/15/1998. You define the season via a season-dependent
    operand in the facts or the rate.
