Purpose

This report allows you to carry out multiple remote disconnections and reconnections of AMI devices for which disconnection orders and reconnection orders have already been created. You access this screen by way of the SAP Easy Access menu (Utilities Industry -→ Customer Service -→ Process Execution -→ Disconnection/Reconnection -→ Mass Activity: Send Disconnection Orders).

Overview of mass disconnection and reconnection procedure

To process multiple disconnections and disconnections, follow the steps below:

  • In the selection screen that appears when you first access the report, indicate the characteristics of the orders you wish to process. More specifically, indicate the following information:
  • The types of orders you wish to process (disconnection orders, reconnection orders , disconnection reversals, reconnection reversals or any combination of the above)

  • The criteria of the orders you wish to select for processing

  • Choose the Schedule Program Runbutton to process the activity - the activity results will be displayed in the job log.

Integration

Prerequisites

Mass processing of disconnection and reconnection orders is only permitted in the following cases:

  • Supply Guarantee
  • The order has never previously been processed
  • An agreed date and time is set for a corresponding notification work item within a CRM approval process
  • Orders with the confirmation status 13 (Remote disconnection to be requested)
  • Orders with the confirmation status 23 (Remote reconnection to be requested)
  • Orders with the confirmation status 01 (Remote disconnection cancellation to be requested)
  • Orders with the confirmation status 05 (Remote reconnection cancellation to be requested)

Features

Processing one or multiple disconnection or reconnection orders

You select orders to process by specifying their characteristics in the selection screen. Depending on your specifications, the system will find 0, 1 or multiple orders. For example, if you only specify agreed date information in the selection screen, the system will find all orders that have the specified date.

Selection

When you first access the report, the system displays a selection screen. Here you can define the criteria for the types of orders you wish to monitor

Important
Normally, when you select from multiple fields, the system searches for orders that have allof the criteria that you specify. However, when making selections within the Reference Objectssection, the system searches for orders that are associated with any of the reference objects that you specify.

Example 1
You specify the following information in the selection screen:

  • Order category: Disconnection orders
  • Agreed date: January 10
  • Order status: 00 (To be confirmed)
  • Reference Object: Installation ABC

In this case, the system will select all disconnection orders that have an agreed date of January 10 and an Order status of 00 and are associated with Installation ABC.

Example 2
You specify the following information in the selection screen:

  • Order category: Disconnection orders
  • Agreed date: January 10
  • Order status: 00 (To be confirmed)
  • Reference Object: Installations ABC and BCD
  • Reference Object: Device 01 and 03

In this case, the system will select the following types of orders:

  • Disconnection orders that have an agreed date of January 10 and an Order status of 00 and are associated with Installation ABC
  • Disconnection orders that have an agreed date of January 10 and an Order status of 00 and are associated with Installation BCD
  • Disconnection orders that have an agreed date of January 10 and an Order status of 00 and are associated with Device 01
  • Disconnection orders that have an agreed date of January 10 and an Order status of 00 and are associated with Device 03

Sections of the selection screen

Header section
Here you identify the mass activity:

  • Date ID
    A date identifier
Note
This date is only an identifier and is not necessarily the date on which the mass activity is run - you specify the run execution date by choosing the Schedule Program Runbutton.
  • Identification
    An additional identifier which you can use to differentiate runs with the same date ID

General Selections tab
Here you define the criteria for the types of orders you wish to process:

  • Order category
    Allows you to specify whether you wish process disconnection orders, reconnection orders, disconnection reversals, reconnection reversals, or any combination of the above
  • Date Selection
    Allows you to select orders based on the agreed date and time
  • Disc./Recon. Data
    Allows you to specify the criteria of orders you wish to process.
  • Reference Objects
    Allows you to specify the reference object to which the order is associated.
When you create a new disconnection or reconnection order, you are required to specify a reference object to which it will be associated. For example, if you wish to disconnect all the devices of a single installation, you can associate the disconnection order with the installation, instead of each individual device.
In this screen, if you search for the disconnection order using reference objects as search criteria, the order will only be selected if you provide the correct reference object information. In the example above, the order will only be found if you specify the installation; it will not be found if you specify one of the corresponding devices (even though they are part of the installation).

Example
You have an installation, AB, which is associated with devices ABC, DEF and GHI.
You create a disconnection order and associate it with the installation. In this case, devices ABC, DEF and GHI will all be disconnected.
You run this report to monitor the disconnection orders.
  • Scenario 1
    In the selection screen, you specify ABC, DEF, and GHI in the Device field.
    Result: The system does not locate the order.

  • Scenario 2
    In the selection screen, you specify AB in the Installation field.
    Result: The system locates the order and displays the monitoring data.

Note
If you choose to exclude a reference object from the selection process, the orders associated with the non-excluded reference objects will be selected (expected behavior). However, the system will continue to ignore the other reference object types.
Example
You have orders associated with the Premise, Installation and Device reference
  • Orders 1 to 10 are associated with premise A to J (one order for each premise)

  • Orders 11 to 20 are associated with installation AA to JJ (one order for each installation)

  • Orders 21 to 30 are associated with device AAA to JJJ (one order for each device)

In the selection screen, on the Installation line, you specify != EE (that is, not equal to EE) and you choose the Execute button.
As a result, the monitoring report will display orders 11 to 14 and orders 16 to 20 - all of the orders that are associated with installations. All other orders, associated with other reference objects will not be selected.

  • Regional Selection
    Allows you to specify regional criteria. Choose the Regional Selectionbutton and specify the regional data associated with the orders you wish to select.
  • Type of Run
    When the Simulation Run flag is selected, the activity will be simulated - you will see the results of the activity in the log, but the associated orders will not actually be processed, nor will a disconnection or reconnection take place. More specifically, a simulation run allows you to:
  • check how many and which disconnection orders or reconnection orders would have been processed.

  • analyze and eliminate errors before a real run takes place

  • determine the orders to exclude or include from processing during the actual run

Technical Settings tab
Here you specify whether you want automatic load distribution by the system (where you only define the number of jobs) or explicit load distribution (where you explicitly specify how many jobs are to run on which hosts). For more information see SAP Help for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA), under Data Processing in Mass Runs.

Logstab
The job log records status information and any errors that occur during the mass activity run. For more information, see SAP Help for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA), under Data Processing in Mass Runs.
