What is 'deviation account' in SAP IS-U-EDM - Energy Data Management?

deviation account - Overview

• Component: IS-U-EDM

• Component Name: Energy Data Management

• Description: Weekly balancing of all energy deviations within a given tolerance band. On-peak and off-peak times are differentiated between. This means that the cost of deviations within this tolerance band do not have to be paid for immediately but can be balanced out accordingly within a certain time limit.

  Key Concepts: 
  Deviation accounts are used in the Energy Data Management (EDM) component of SAP IS-U to track the difference between the actual energy consumption and the expected energy consumption. This difference is known as a deviation and is calculated by comparing the actual energy consumption with the expected energy consumption. The deviation account is used to store this information and can be used to analyze and identify potential issues with energy usage.
  
  How to use it: 
  The deviation account is used to store the difference between the actual and expected energy consumption. This information can then be used to identify potential issues with energy usage. The deviation account can be accessed through the EDM component of SAP IS-U. Once accessed, users can view the deviation account and analyze the data to identify any potential issues with energy usage.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When analyzing the deviation account, it is important to look for patterns in the data that may indicate potential issues with energy usage. Additionally, it is important to compare the deviation account data with other data sources such as weather data or historical energy usage data in order to gain a better understanding of any potential issues.
