In this IMG activity, you define measurement classes.

Measurement classes define the types of business objects for which measurements are recorded, such as well completion or measurement point business objects.

Each class corresponds to a single application, and each class can be assigned to multiple measurement types. This defines the types of measurement that may be recorded against business objects in this class.

In order for the Measurement System to group Measurement Types by applications, a Measurement Class needs to be created for each application which uses the Measurement System.

Sometimes an application that uses the measurement system records some measurement readings in its own database (for example, standardized measurement point volumes are recorded in the measurement point volumes database as well as the measurement system database). In this case, field transport rules may be defined for each measurement type assigned to a class. These rules control which readings are copied from the measurement recorded by the measurement system to the record in the application database.

Example

Class: MP Measurement point

Requirements

Define measurement source

Standard settings

The PRA system is supplied with standard measurement classes pre-configured.

Recommendation

Measurement types should not be removed from measurement classes unless advised by SAP. Any new measurement types should be added to all the appropriate measurement classes.

Activities

1.    Choose New entries and enter a measurement class to be created.

2.    Select the measurement class and then choose Measurement type assignment.

    The Change view Measurement type assignment: Overview screen appears.

3.    Enter all measurement types to be used for the current measurement class or application.

4.    Select the measurement type and choose Field transport.

    The Change view Field transport: Overview screen appears.

5.    In the Reading field column, enter the actual field name of the applications structure.

6.    Continue making entries for field transports for each measurement type as needed.

7.    Save your entries.

    Note: The values of the reading returned to the application after saving.
