@eddy001 TOU tariffs need a calendar that maps peak, standard and off peak times.

The Calendar must map for the same time periods as what the Tariff has periods for.
On the Tools->Check Tariff Validity you should have a table of the Tariff Periods and each of the Calendar's periods linked to this Tariff.
You can change the Calendar's period for which it is valid under Tools->Certify TOU Calendar as valid.

Obviously you should only mark the Calendar valid for the periods that it is valid for.
So if it is subject to public holidays, make sure the public holidays for the whole date range is entered.

Hi


Pls assist agin as I am experiencing the same error meesage.

Although I am selecting the Dependent Calender as 2015-07-01, irrespective whether with and without specifying the time as 00:00:00.000 the system defaults to 2015-07-01 01:00:00.000 which seems to initiated the error message. 

Thanks and regards

The problem was that in 2015 Namibia still had Daylight Saving, whereas now they don't.


Technically, I suppose you could say that now Namibia has the same time zone as South Africa, whereas in 2015, it looked the same DURING daylight saving, but was actually 1 hour offset.

Because the calendar range should be greater or equal to the tariff range, I just increased the range of the calendar to start 1 day earlier, and it resolved the problem.
