Parameters for controlling the Web interface are defined in the XCM configuration file. The following documentation describes the parameters:

Entering Meter Readings

Parameter: startFilter (default value: 8)

Use: Meter reading entry (move-in / move-out / move-in/out)

Meaning: At the meter reading entry, a table with all the meter readings is displayed. As this can be very comprehensive, you can use a filter to restrict the display to the premise address, division and entries with/without meter reading order. The parameter specifies the number of entries required before the filter is to appear.

Move-In / Move-Out / Move-In/Out

Parameter: businessPartnerType

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: If you activate this parameter, you can specify the business partner type as a group, organization, or person. If the parameter is not active, the business partner type is automatically set to person.

Parameter: startFilter (default value: 8)

Use: Meter reading entry (move-in / move-out / move-in/out)

Meaning: At the meter reading entry, a table with all the meter readings is displayed. As this can be very comprehensive, you can use a filter to restrict the display to the premise address, division and entries with/without meter reading order. The parameter specifies the number of entries required before the filter is to appear.

Parameter: countrySupplyArea (default value: DE)

Use: Move-in / move-in/out

Meaning: If the system could not identify the premise, into which the customer is to move – for example, in the case of a customer typing error – the system checks whether the premise address is located in the service territory of the company. This parameter (system value) is used to define the country in which the service territory is located.

Parameter: daysPast (default value: 30)

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: To avoid senseless data and typing errors, you can specify here how many days a move-in / move-out / move-in/out can lie before the current date.

Parameter: daysPast (default value: 30)

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: To avoid senseless data and typing errors, you can specify here how many days a move-in / move-out / move-in/out can lie after the current date.

Parameter: dummyUserMoveIn (default value: ESERVICE)

Use: Move-in

Meaning: To access the Internet services, the customer must first use his/her user and password to log on. When a new customer reports a move-in, he/she must not apply for a user beforehand, but is logged on using a “dummy user”. Only the move-in service is then available to the customer. The customer must logon using the page jsp/isuExtensions/ direct_logon_html.jsp, on which the user name and the password of the dummy user must also be defined. After the logon, the user name is compared with the value of the parameter. If they match, then further menu options are hidden.

Parameter: parkedDocumentVariant (default value: 0001)

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: Parked documents are created for the move-in / move-out / move-in/out services. Different company-specific values are defined in the parking variant. This parameter is used to maintain the name of the parking variant (table TECAMIOVAR).

Parameter: tokenAutomaticDebit (default value: E)

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: Three possible payment variants are intended for the move-in / move-out / move-in/out services. One of these variants is automatic debit. At this point you must define the value set for this purpose in the SAP system Customizing (table TFK042Z, transaction FQP1).

Parameter: tokenCheck (default value: F)

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: Three possible payment variants are intended for the move-in / move-out / move-in/out services. One of these variants is payment by check. At this point you must define the value set in the SAP system Customizing (table TFK042Z, transaction FQP1).

Parameter: tokenBankTransfer (default value: G)

Use: Move-in / move-out / move-in/out

Meaning: Three possible payment variants are intended for the move-in / move-out / move-in/out services. One of these variants is bank transfer. At this point you must define the value set in the SAP system Customizing (table TFK042Z, transaction FQP1).

Parameter: oneAccount (default value: X)

Use: Move-in/out

Meaning: The move-in/out service consists of two services, move-out and move-in. The move-out is processed using the recognized contract account. The contract account is unknown for the move-in. If you set the parameter (‘X’), the contract account for the move-out is used for the move-in. This means that there is only one payment method for the move-in and move-out. If you do not set the parameter, a new contract account is created, or is determined using a user exit. This means that there is one payment method for the move-in and one for the move-out.

Required Entry Fields

Required entry fields are indicated on the E-services input template by a ‘*’ at the end of the name. Values must be entered in these data fields. To change normal fields to required entry fields, and vice versa, you must simply change the corresponding entry in the resource files.

A field name without a prefixed structure name is generally a required entry field. A field name that only has a prefixed structure name for the corresponding screen is not a required entry field. For example, NAME1=lastname* would always be a required entry field, , S_OWNER_ADDRESS-NAME1=lastname would specify that this field is not a required entry field for the input screen used by the S_OWNER_ADDRESS structure.

Field Sequence

The field sequence can vary depending on the logon language (for example, the field sequence in German would be Street, House Number, whereas the sequence in the USA would be House Number, Street). An allowance is made for this in the properties file. All keys that end in ‘.order’ specify a field sequence (for example street.order=s12 means street, then house number, then house number supplement).

Inclusion of Additional Fields

If an additional field is to be displayed on an input screen, you must simply enhance the export structure of the corresponding function module, and create a field of the same name in the corresponding JSP and resource files.
