In this activity you define the types of permissible device allocations in an installation structure. You must specify an allocation type if during processing of the installation structure, you execute the function device allocation, which describes the relationship between installed devices. A device allocation always contains a controlling device and a device that is controlled. The controlling device must have the basic category defined in the allocation type.

The device allocations provided by SAP in the standard sytem, and the structure of the keys for customer enhancements are described below:

Example

AT | Text |Attrib. desc. for alloc.type| BD | D | R
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

01 | Ripple control receiver | Command | T | x | x

02 | Transformer (group) | Billing factor | W | | x

03 | Pressure reg. rel. bill | Measured pressure | D | | x

04 | Press.reg.not rel. bill | Measured pressure | D | x |

90 | Customer allocation | | | |

AT = Allocation type
BD = Basic device category
D = x => Allocation permitted at device level
R = x => Allocation permitted at register level

  • Allocation type 01:
    If a ripple control receiver is to control the switching of day/night operation for a meter, allocation type 01 is selected. The controlling device must be from the basic category "ripple control receiver" (BD=T) and the controlling relationship can be valid for the entire meter (D=x) or for an individual register (R=x).
  • Allocation type 02:
    If a register is connected in front of a transformer, the resulting factor must be indicated by allocation type 02. The controlling device must be from the basic category "transformer" (BD=W) and the control relationship is only valid at the register level (R=x, D= ). The billing factor stored for this allocation type in the installation structure for each register, is taken into account in consumption billing.
  • Allocation type 03 and 04:
    You have to assign the allocation types 03 or 04 to the control relationship between a pressure regulator that reduces the demand pressure to consumption pressure, and a gas meter. The controlling device must be from from the basic category "pressure regulator" (BD=D). The measured pressure stored for allocation type 03 in the installation structure for each register, is taken into account in consumption billing.
  • Allocation type 90:
    Device allocations defined by the customer always have the two-digit key 9*.

Requirements

If you execute the function device allocation, the controlling device and the device that is controlled must be installed. They may be in different installations.

Standard settings

There are four types of device allocations provided in the SAP standard system as well as the programs for taking allocation types into account for consumption billing.

If you want to create new types of device allocations, you must assign keys with the structure 9* to each entry. These keys were specially designed and reserved for customers by SAP.

Recommendation

We recommend using the settings provided in the SAP standard system.

Activities

  1. Check whether the device allocations provided in the standard system meet your requirements.
  2. Choose New entries.
  3. Define the types of device allocations you require. Make sure that the two-digit key field allocation type begins with a "9".

Further notes

In some allocation types, values are stored that are used by consumption billing (for example, measured pressure, or billing factor). Therefore, these allocation types are relevant to billing.

The allocation types relevant to billing are:

  • 02 Transformer (group)
  • 03 Pressure regulator relevant to billing

Device allocations defined by the customer cannot be relevant to billing because the billing programs only access the types of device allocations provided in the SAP standard system.
