SAP Term: interpolation

• Component: IS-U-DM-MR

• Component Name: Meter Reading

• Description: Automatic extrapolation of a meter reading result from another meter reading result within the entry interval. The entry interval is entered in the meter reading unit. &EXAMPLE& Periodic meter reading: April 15 Move-out: April 18 Entry interval: April 01 to 30 The meter reading order for the final meter reading to take place on April 18 is suppressed.

• Key Concepts: 
  Interpolation is a process used in SAP IS-U-DM-MR Meter Reading to estimate the amount of energy consumed between two meter readings. It is used when the actual meter reading is not available, and instead, the estimated value is used to calculate the energy consumption. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Interpolation is used when the actual meter reading is not available. The estimated value is then used to calculate the energy consumption. The estimated value is calculated by taking the difference between two consecutive meter readings and dividing it by the number of days between them. This value is then multiplied by the number of days since the last reading to get an estimate of the energy consumed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using interpolation, it is important to ensure that the estimated value is as accurate as possible. This can be done by taking into account factors such as weather conditions, usage patterns, and other factors that may affect energy consumption. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all readings are taken at regular intervals to ensure accuracy.

  Interpolation can also be used in other areas such as financial forecasting and data analysis. Additionally, it can be used in other SAP modules such as SAP IS-U-DM-MR Meter Reading and SAP IS-U-DM-MR Billing & Invoicing.
