CRM_UT_ER_1: Enhancements to Utility Product Master Data (Enhanced)

Use

As of SAP CRM 7.0 Enhancement Package 1, the product definition supports the definition of products for utility packages as well as the definition of products for utility contracts.

• Package Definition

For products marked as packages, you can define the components or groups of components acting as alternatives. The system allows the definition of rule-based components by assigning BRFplus-based rules.

Within a package you can influence the attributes defined in the components of the package (default values, special value ranges).

• Enhanced Utility Configuration Attributes

You can assign attributes to products during order entry. You can define the appearance and changeability of such values or define default values.

• Versions

For technical reasons it might become necessary to change parts of the attribute definition - for example, because of changes in IS-U. To ensure that existing contracts stay valid even if such changes in the product definition are necessary, the system stores the attribute settings in versions.

Once a version is released, you can no longer change the details. Contracts are assigned to specific versions. Therefore, even if new versions are created, existing contracts are not affected. Versions can be assigned to master data templates in SAP IS-U.

• Product availability

The system allows you to define periods in which a product can be sold to customers - for example from February 2010 to March 2010. Additionally, you can define eligibility and compatibility rules to control whether a product can be sold to a certain customer or not.

• Business Rule Framework

Rules used within the utility product definition are build within the tool BRFplus. Business Rules Framework plus (also called Formula & Derivation Tool, FDT) is a business rules engine developed in ABAP. It provides a high degree of transparency, fast development by modeling approach and a convenient graphical representation.
