Installation

Basic concepts:
DEVICE Installation functions
1. Installation, removal, and replacement of devices from a:
Technical point of view: linking a device to a device location. installation not
required.
a. (1:1 relationship)
Billing point of view: linking a device to a utility installation
b. (1:n relationship) .you need to enter rate type for all billing related
registers.
2. Creation of device groups
3. Changes to rate data and technical data of devices that have already been
installed (utility installation structure)
During technical installation, the device is physically installed at the corresponding device location.
You can only allocate a specific device to one specific device location.
During billing-relevant installation, you allocate the device to an installation which contains billing
relevant data (for example, the rate category). You can allocate a device to several installations at
once.
Rate data (such as the rate type or billing factor) can only be changed for periods that have not
been billed.
Technical data can also be changed in periods that have been billed.

Device location:
The exact location of the device is determined using the device location.
Utility installation:

Links technical and business master data


Groups the following for joint billing:
1. Devices
2. Registers
3. Flat rate billing values

Serves as the basis for the billing of devices


Is allocated to a premise
Applies to one division

The regional structure provides default values like the meter reading unit, franchise contract, and
temperature area for the installation.

Is linked to billing via the rate category


Is linked to scheduling via the meter reading unit
Is linked to the regional structure via the premise (which, in turn, is linked
to the regional structure via the connection object)
Is assigned to a business partner during the move-in

ISU Devices are installed only at device location.


service connection(SAP PM equipment) is installed at connection object functional location.

Define System Parameters for Device Info Record


In this IMG activity, you enter the equipment category to be used when device info records are created and
define how the device numbers are assigned.

For device info records only register group and transformer groups are allowed.
and is division specific similar to devices.

multiple meter reading order creation

Meter Reading (IS-U-DM-MR)


Meter reading for which more than one meter reading result is entered for a period in which a device has stored
several readings.
Example
An electronic watt register stores readings for each month. However, the meter is only read once a year. During
multiple order creation, one meter reading order is created for a periodic reading and eleven meter reading
orders for interim reading. This allows for entry of all meter readings.

Control group for multiple meter reading order creation


Use
Combines parameters used to create meter reading orders for interim meter reading during multiple meter
reading order creation.
You specify the control group in the register data of the device.

Define Control Group for Creation of Multiple MR Orders


In this IMG activity you define control groups for multiple meter reading order creation. Control groups contain
parameters that allow you to specify which and how many meter readings are entered in a period meter
reading. The control group is stored in the register data of the device. You can also allocate the control group to
a register in a register group.
Example
An electronic watt register stores meter readings at the end of each month. However, the register is read only
once a year. For this periodic meter reading, you want to enter all meter readings. Define a control group
accordingly and enter it in the register data. In addition to the periodic meter reading order, eleven additional
meter reading orders are created for interim meter readings of the register.

Meter reading orders are created automatically each month (time basis = 1, period category = M) on the 31st
for all registers with control group 0001.
Activities
1. Choose New entries.
2. Define the control groups you require for creation of multiple meter reading orders.

Define Permissibility of Billing-Related Installation

.
You define which device divisions are valid for which installation divisions.
If you do not enter an installation division in this table, devices of any division can be installed in all installations
of the division not entered.
Example
Inst. div | Div. low | Div. upper | INCL/EXCL | Option
01

| 01

| 02

|I

03

| 03

|I

05

| 07

|E

| BT
| EQ
| EQ

Inst. div = division of the installation


Div. low

= division of the device (from)

Div. upper = division of the device (to)


INCL/EXCL = E/I => division(s) of devices included/excluded in this
line
Option

= Selection options: EQ (equal), BT (between) etc.

The table is delivered empty, meaning SAP does not prescribe any division-related restrictions for the
installation of devices in installations.
You should only maintain this table if you do not wish to permit certain device divisions for certain installation
divisions
