Start

Beginning of the Sales entity defined through a Date Choice Box. For example: "first time at transaction", that is Transaction + 0 months.

The entered month corresponds to the first day of this month (inclusive). For example: Start 01 /2015 means that the Sales entity is considered from 01.01.2015 according to the Driver/Value input.

Fix

The End is defined by a Date Choice Box.

Quotal

The End depends on the attainment of an accumulated Production per assigned Production Unit since Production Unit Start.

SelectionFix

End

Fix

For example: "Production Unit Start + 20 years".

The entered month refers to the last day of this month (inclusive). For example: An end 12 /2015 mean that the Sale entity is considered till 12.31.2015 according to Driver/Value input

Quotal

For example: "10'000 MWh" & "From First Production Unit Start", which means the accumulated Production > 10'000 MWh from first Production Unit start will not be remunerated according to this Sale entity.

The End of the Sale entity is defined as the accumulated Production per assigned Production Unit since Production Unit Start. This means the Sales entity is considered till the attainment of the accumulated Production according the End input of the corresponding Production Unit

For example: An input of "10'000 MWh with 2 assigned Production Units" means that the Sale entity is valid till the particular Production Unit produced 10'000 MWh since Production Unit Start. A accumulated Production > 10'000 will not be remunerated according to this Sale entity.

Note: For projects with heterogeneous properties according the quotal end (for example Production Unit 1 has 10'000 MWh and Production Unit 2 has 15'000 MWh) you should use two different Sale entities.
