Hi
I see you haven't validated your tariff yet?
If you try to do so, it would complain that the TOU Calendar it depends on has not been certified for at least the same period that covers all your tariff periods.
So, on the 'Certify TOU Calendar as Valid' screen, I see you have certified it on 2011-08-29 09:17:01 for the period 2011-07-01 00:00:00 to 2012-07-01 00:00:00.
The reason your graphs look funny, is because this calendar stops at 2012-07-01, and the graph shows the values for the TOU periods only. So, you've fallen off your calendar. Please re-certify the calendar for a longer time.
(The reason this is tedious, is probably since I see the TOU Calendar you use include holidays, and that is a shlep to update every year, but someone has to do it. So the steps would be first to insert the new exception days for the new year on the Calendar Year Pattern page, and then to certify it from 2011-07-01 to 2013-08-01 on the 'Certify TOU Calendar as Valid' page.)

The reason why I say to certify it until 1 August and not 1 July, is because it gives you an extra month to sort out the tariff and calendar, while your graphs still show fine to your customers, which is often necessary since the tariff authority often publishes late, and there are no South African holidays in July.
