Create Technical Point of Delivery 
Use
You create a technical point of delivery if:
Procedure
The system automatically proposes the structure category defined in Customizing as the default value (Master Data ® Point of Delivery ® Define Structure of Point of Delivery ID).
If you use the Metering Code structure category, you can generate a consecutive number for the point of delivery ID. To do this, choose the Default Value entry in the Consecutive Number field.
If you have defined default values in Customizing for the selected structure category (in Field Settings under SAP Utilities ® Master Data ® Point of Delivery ® Define Structure of Point of Delivery ID), these values are displayed in the point of delivery ID fields. Note that if you set the NI field (field is not ready for input), you cannot change the default values. To change the default values, you must reset the NI field.
To change the validity of the point of delivery ID, enter a different date and/or time.
To restrict the validity of the point of delivery ID, insert a new time slice. To do this, choose New Time Slice. In the From Day field, enter the date and time at which you want the new time slice to become valid. The previous time slice finishes on the start date of the new time slice.
In the PoD Type field, choose one of the given types.
Set the Technical PoD field.
Choose Continue.
You use grids to represent the distribution grid of a distributor in the system. By allocating a grid to the point of delivery, you can calculate the results of settlement not only for each settlement unit, but also for each grid.
Enter the period for which you want to allocate the grid to the point of delivery.
The Day From field contains the current date as a default value. However, you can change this date.
In the Grid field, choose one of the grids previously defined in the Intercompany Data Exchange menu.
The system automatically displays the distributor allocated to the grid, provided you have allocated a distributor in the Intercompany Data Exchange menu under Grid.
Choose the
Copy icon to copy the entries to the list.
You can define source systems and number ranges for sources systems in Customizing under Tools ® System Modifications ® User-Defined Functions for Energy Data Management ® Source Systems.
You can also allocate the point of delivery to an installation. This allocation applies to all the registers allocated to the installation. To do this, choose the
Installation tabstrip and enter the installation to which you want to allocate the point of delivery.To restrict the allocation data, choose Date.
In the Proration Day field, enter a new from-date and choose Prorate.
The system inserts a new line with a new time slice.
Place the cursor on the line containing the required time slice and choose Select.
Once a move-in has taken place for the installation, to which this POD is allocated, all the services for this POD are displayed.
You must have defined the default mechanisms in the IDE menu under Services ®
Service on the Basis of the Operational Area or Services on the Basis of Service Provider Relationships.
You define the default mechanism to be used in Customizing under SAP Utilities ® Intercompany Data Exchange ® Basic Settings ® Define Control Parameters.
