New: Master Data Template and Master Data Generator
Use
You can now use the master data template and master data generator to create master data automatically in IS-U.
The following business processes are examples of utility services used to create or change data:
- Registration of a new customer with an energy company
- Rate change for an existing customer.
Both processes require the creation of new data for objects in the data model, or changes to existing data.
You can handle these business processes using IS-U transactions. These enable you to enter data in all the fields of the affected objects individually. However this is often a lengthy process, consisting of complex tasks.
Some applications can be made easier by using a template application. This means that most of the fields in an application have been assigned a fixed value, and the user only has to maintain certain outstanding fields. The system determined the fixed values from the context or the service type.
Examples of such applications are:
- Sales processes in SD or CRM
- Internet self service functions
- Data exchange between energy companies and distributors during a supplier change
- Import of utility contracts closed by a partner company
This restricted view of the data model is supported by the master data template. To use a master data template, carry out the following steps:
- Choose an autonomous SAP master data template category that matches the business process concerned. The category determines which objects can be created or changed. For an overview of the master data template categories available, see IS-U Master Data Generator: Master Data Template Categories.
- Create a master data template in the category you have chosen. In the definition, specify which fields are to contain a fixed value and which can be maintained in the template application (individual data).
- Integrate the master data generator into your application. When you call the master data generator, maintain the individual data. The generator adds the fixed values from the definition to this information, and then uses the complete set of data to maintain the relevant IS-U objects.
The master data templates and master data generator enable you to large-scale changes to objects by means of a few changes. You can also use a master data template for initial data creation.
Example:
- You want to carry out rate changes for customers. To do this, choose the master data template category RATECHANGE, which is designed for changing data in the installation.
- You then create a master data template for the master data template category. In the defintion of the template, enter the rate category of the installation as a fixed value. This means that the rate category is automatically entered in all the installations allocated to this product. Specify that the change date can be accessed by the template application.
- From your application, call the function module ISU_PRODUCT_IMPLEMENT (process master data template). Transfer the key of the master data template and the value entered in the application to the function module. The function module carries out the changes in background- no additional dialog steps are necessary.
