Purpose

This component allows you to do the following:

  • Install, remove, and replace devices

    You establish or terminate a link between a device and a device location (technical view) and an installation (billing view).

    You can override certain system parameters defined by SAP for installation, removal or replacement. Establish settings as required in Customizing.To do this, choose   Device Management   Installation   Basic Settings   Define System Parameters for Installation/Removal/Replacement   .

  • Create device groups

  • Change rate data and technical data of devices that are already installed in a utility installation.

Integration

You can use the IDoc ISU_DEVICE_CHANGE to transfer data from external systems to the work process.You can enter one meter reading result per action. It is currently not possible to process multiple meter readings.

If a meter reading is implausible, IDoc processing is not canceled.You can correct the reading.For more information, see Correction of Implausible Meter Reading Results .

To transfer meter reading results to workflow for further processing, use the role ISU_MREADER for the agent.

Further information on IDocs:

  • For general information, see IDoc Interface/Electronic Data Interchange

  • For detailed information, see Using Documentation Tools

    Here you determine which documentation you can display for a certain IDoc.

You can integrate functions for transferring devices prior to installation or after removal into device installation, removal and replacement. You have the following options:

  • Installation and removal

    You can enter the target plant and storage location as well as the movement type on the initial screen.

  • Device replacement

    You can enter goods movement data (target plant and storage location and movement type) for device removal and installation. You can also enter other data such as the cost center.

To activate these functions, you have to define parameter GOODSMVMT in Customizing under   Installation   System Parameters for Installation/Removal/Replacement   .

Device installation, removal, and replacement now contains the following enhancements:

  • EDMD1001 (user-defined default values for installation, removal and replacement)

    This enhancement allows you to define default data for input parameters.

  • EDMD1001 (user-defined checks for installation, removal and replacement)

    This enhancement allows you to implement your own input checks.
