When you create an installation, the system automatically creates a deregulation point of delivery. Deregulation points of delivery are required for communication in the deregulated energy market .

1. From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Utilities Industry ® Technical Master Data ® Installation ® Create.
2. Make the entries required in order to create an installation.

In the lower half of the screen is the Point of Delivery group box.

3. Make the entries required for the point of delivery ID and enter the ID of a grid in the Grid field. Note that you must have defined the grids in the Intercompany Data Exchange menu.

When you make this entry, the system allocates a grid to the point delivery. The grid is used during the move-in to determine the default values for service, for example.



If you have not entered a point of delivery ID, you do not have to enter a grid in the installation. However, if you have already entered a point of delivery ID then you must enter a grid. The grid is a new entity created to IS-U Release 4.63. This means that if you upgrade your system from IS-U 4.62, there are no grids allocated to the points of delivery. If the system cannot find a grid allocated to the point of delivery, the functions that require the grid (such as the default definition for services) automatically search for a grid in the regional structure.

In Energy Data Management the Settlement settings determine whether you have to specify a grid. If you have made these settings, you must ensure that all the points of delivery are allocated to grids when you upgrade your system.
