Exercises

Unit: Introduction to RTP Billing

Topic: Familiarize Yourself with the Data Model

At the conclusion of these exercises, you will be able to

• Describe your business partner and its corresponding data objects.

• Describe the business partner profile allocation

• Analyze values in a profile.

The SuppCo company has already installed interval meters. In future, customers are also to be billed for consumption. In this exercise, you familiarize yourself with the commercial and technical master data of your business partner, and the allocated interval meter.

Unit: Introduction to RTP Billing

Topic: Familiarize Yourself with the Data Model

1-1 Go to the SAP Easy Access menu and choose Utilities Industry Æ Customer Service Æ Front Office/Customer Interaction Center Æ Customer Interaction Center.

1-1-1 In the business partner field (Part/tel in the selection area, enter the number of your business partner.

Field name or data category Values

Business partner TR0101A0##

Choose Enter.

Confirm your selection and choose Confirm Partner (Enter).

The Customer Environment is now available in the navigation area.

1-1-2 Which device was installed?

Determine the device and use the context menu (select device, right mouse click) to choose Display Device.

Field name or data category Values

Device TR0101A0##

Device Cat. TD-INT15-00

Basic Device Category Meter This is a device information record.

The device information record is a data object that contains data on an individual physical object and is maintained by an external organization or is not something that you own. The data record therefore only contains device data for the utilities industry component (billing). It is not therefore managed in the Plant

Maintenance (PM/CS) component. This “abbreviated” master record is therefore only required for technical billing purposes. The device is not allocated to a device location (functional location). Installation is performed in relation to a utility installation for technical billing reasons.

© SAP AG IUT235 1-39

A device info record can refer to the following objects:

- Counting device (meter)

- Controlling device (ripple control receiver) - Data processing device (converter)

- Device with protective or adjustive functions (pressure controller)

1-1-3 Identify the register group.

Field name or data category Values A register group TP-IN-00 1-1-4 Identify and note the register code of the register.

Choose the Registers tab page.

Search for the entry in the Register Co field.

Field name or data category Values

Register code EDM_TRAINING

The register code is used to identify the measurement task, which is performed for this meter. The meter can therefore be used in connection with the point of delivery for unique identification (in Germany for instance to represent the EDIS code). This value is also checked when the profile values are imported.

1-1-5 Which interval length and unit of measurement are allocated?

Field name or data category Values Interval length defined 15 minutes

Search for the entry in the UM MR field.

Field name or data category Values Unit of

measurement kWh

1-1-6 What is the significance of the Interval Length ID field and which values are admissible for this field?

The Interval Length ID field is used to define the time interval, which can be found between the profile values for a profile.

During meter reading order creation, the system does not generate meter reading documents for these registers. The utility installations behave like flat-rate installations for meter reading order creation:

Admissible intervals are:

Field name or data category Values

5 5 minutes

10 10 minutes

15 15 minutes

30 30 minutes

60 60 minutes

1-2 Choose the following in the SAP menu: Utilities Industry ÆEnergy Data Management Æ Profile Management Æ Profile Header Æ Display.

Enter the value TR0101A0## in the Business Partner field from the selection area. Choose 01.01 YYYY to 31.01.YYYY as the selection date (SelDate). Confirm your entry by choosing Enter. The data environment for your business partner is now available in the navigation area.

1-2-1 Which profile has been allocated to business partner TR0101A0##?

Select the last entry in the navigation area. Switch to the profile header display.

The profile number and its description are found in the work area.

1-2-2 What is usually used to make the allocation between a device and a profile?

The logical register for your interval meter is usually used to make the allocation.

Which type of allocation does this device have?

Choose the profile in the navigation area and switch to the profile allocation display in the context menu (right mouse click). The allocation was made using a role in the specific example. You can generally access the profile using this role during RTP billing.

1-2-4 How many profile values are available to you for the month of January?

Choose the OLE Interface (EXCEL) tab page in the work area in the bottom half of the screen. A total of 2978 lines are displayed. 2976 values (2978 minus two header lines) are available to you as profile values. This result is produced from product 4 (15 minute values) * 24 (hours) * 31 (days).

In the context of energy data management, values must be provided to replace missing or implausible profile values. Name three processes, which can be used to create or edit replacement values?

Interpolation:

If you want to replace missing profile values in the past with replacement values, values must be interpolated.

Note that follow-up processes such as RTP billing or settlement are performed on the basis of these interpolated values. It is therefore important that the

replacement values created are as realistic as possible.

Sample

You have allocated a profile to a register with the Consumption measured role.

The profile is provided with values from an automated meter reading system on a daily basis.

If values for a specific period cannot be imported from the AMR system (for instance due to a technical fault), replacement values must be created here instead. To do so, you must interpolate values for the profile.

Extrapolation:

If you want to forecast profile values for the future (for instance to create a schedule), values must be extrapolated.

Extrapolated values are either overwritten with the values measured at a subsequent point in time or are entered in a separate forecast profile.

Note that follow-up processes such as RTP billing or settlement are not performed on the basis of these extrapolated values.

Example:

You have allocated a profile to a register with the Consumption measured role.

The profile is provided with values from an automated meter reading system on a daily basis.

You create a schedule for the following day. To do so, you must extrapolate values for the profile. These extrapolated values are overwritten by the values measured from the AMR System on the following day.

Manual Change:

You can also change profile values manually on an individual basis or make modifications using the mass change function for profile value processing.

Values can also be exported using the OLE interface and imported again once they have been modified.

1-2-5 What is the total consumption for January?

In the navigation area, choose the profile. Branch to the profile values display from the context menu. Choose the Display Totals for Each Day access in the group box in the upper half of the work area. Select the column with your profile values and create the Total. A total of 48.246,58 kWh was measured for this profile in January.

1-2-6 What is the maximum value and when did this occur?

Choose the Display Peak for Each Day access in the group box in the upper half of the work area. Select the column with your profile values and display the Maximum. The maximum value is 53.8 kWh.

You can use the search function (magnifying glass) to determine that the value occurred on 13.01. Double-click on the profile value 53.8 in the group box. The value is now selected again in the lower group box. The maximum occurred on the13.01.in the period between 13:15:00 and 13:29:59.

Alternative: Choose the Display Peak for Each Day access in the group box in the upper half of the work area. Select the column with your profile values and display the profile values in descending order. You recognize that the maximum value (first value in the column) occurred on 13.01. Click on this value. The value is now selected again in the lower group box. The maximum occurred on the13.01.in the period between 13:15:00 and 13:29:59.
