CalculateSavingsRequest
Property Description Type
billSelectionOption

Determines which option will be used to select the bills for this instance of the cost avoidance processor to process

  • “AllBills” means all bills will be processed
  • “ModifiedOrNotProcessed” means only new bills or bills which have been modified since the last time cost avoidance was run will be processed
  • “BillingPeriod” means that only bills with a billing period which is greater than or equal to the provided billing period will be processed One of ‘AllBills’, ‘ModifiedOrNotProcessed’, ‘BillingPeriod’
 string
billingPeriod When BillSelectionOption is ‘BillingPeriod’, this defines the billing period to be used to target bills for processing Valid billing period between 190001 and 300001 NULL Valid Required when BillSelectionOption is set to BillingPeriod, case sensitive. integer (int32)
filters Filter criteria which determine the meters whose savings will be reprocessed FilterEdit[]

Property Description Type
fieldId Data field ID for the filter Required integer (int32)
operator Filter operator expressed as a string (e.g. “equals”) Required string
value Filter value string
skipSpecialAdjustmentOption Allow the user to optionally exclude one or all special adjustments One of ‘SkipAll’, ‘SkipOne’, ‘SkipNone’ string
specialAdjustmentTypeIdToIgnore During cost avoidance processing, the special adjustment having the provided special adjustment type ID will not be applied (only if SkipSpecialAdjustmentOption = “SkipOne”) Required when SkipSpecialAdjustmentOption is set to SkipOne, case sensitive. integer (int32)
