Short text

ISU_AMI_3: Simulation of Time-of-Use Billing for Interval Meters (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0, Industry Extension Utilities, Waste & Recycling (ISU_UTIL_WASTE), Business Function Advanced Metering Infrastructure 3 (ISU_AMI_3), during billing of profile values in SAP EDM, you can use the simulation mode in the time-of-use interface to simulate billing of interval meters.

The following forms of simulation are supported:

• Billing simulation even without a billable billing order

• Unbilled revenue reporting (mass billing of simulation indexes)

Note that this type of simulation is significantly more runtime-intensive than billing conventional discrete interval meters.

• Budget billing simulation (except in the express transaction Change Budget Billing Amount EA61EX)

You can execute the simulation as an individual or mass activity.

To simulate rate steps, access billing in the simulation mode or perform periodic billing with integrated budget billing simulation.

For more detailed information about time-of-use billing for interval meters, see the release note for the business function Advanced Metering Infrastructure 2 (ISU_AMI_2) ISU_AMI_2: Time-of-Use Billing of Interval Meters. Note that the restrictions described in this document still apply to the billing of profile values in external systems. The new simulation functions are only available for billing profile values in SAP EDM.

Effects on Existing Data

Effects on Data Transfer

Effects on System Administration

Effects on Customizing

• You have defined the consumption pattern in Customizing.
  You do this in Customizing under SAP Utilities → Contract Billing → Billing Master Data → AMI: Time-of-Use Interface → Define Consumption Pattern.

• You have assigned a synthetic profile to the consumption pattern.
  You do so on the SAP Easy Access screen under SAP menu → Utilities Industry → Billing → Master Data → AMI: Time-Of-Use Interface → Change Allocation of Consumption Pattern to Profile.

• You have maintained the time-of-use interface in Customizing.
  You do this in Customizing under SAP Utilities → Contract Billing → Billing Master Data → AMI: Time-of-Use Interface → Edit Time-of-Use Interface.

• You have generated profile values for the synthetic profile.

• You have entered the period consumption for interval meters in the system.

See also the documentation Simulation of Time-of-Use Rates (specifically Step 5: Synthetic Profile Adjusted to Period Consumption of Interval Meter and the notes in the final section) and the release note ISU_AMI_3: Enter/Display Period Consumption for Interval Meters.

• You can also define a minimum share for intervals meters in the Customizing settings for rates (see Percentage Minimum Share).
  You do this in Customizing under SAP Utilities → Contract Billing → Billing Master Data → Rate Structure → Rates → Define Rates.
