This indicator returns the last date when the activation of all the subscriber accounts was triggered by an SAP CC user to compute periodic and one-off fees in the SAP CC Core Server system. The Activation Process is a main business process of SAP Convergent Charging. It ensures that the provider contracts (and subscriptions) are up-to-date regarding to counters, allowances, and other business data.
You implement this process to prepare the billing and invoicing processes in an interfaced application or system like SAP Convergent Invoicing (SAP CI) in SAP ERP. It facilitates the process orchestration between the business processes and components in your SAP system landscape.
There are two contexts:
You can use the user operation auditing feature and available functions to inspect these operation requests.
Notes
This indicator takes into account both the activation on provider contracts and the activation on subscriptions in customer master data of the service provider.
This indicator does not take into account the execution of the Activation Process internally triggered by the activation scheduler functions in the running instances of the SAP CC system.
ACTIVATION_SCHEDULER_ENABLED - The enablement or disablement of the activation scheduler in the SAP CC system
AUDIT_ACTIVATION - The enablement or disablement of the User Operation Auditing feature to conform to the required security and auditing level
