Definition

Used as a method for confirming measurement results.

You can define in the application system which measurement results are expected for milestones and which method should be used for confirming them. The SAP Event Manager can then check if the expected measurement results can be confirmed with the actual measurement results that are sent in an event message.

In this case, the measurement status is sent to confirmed, if the actual values lies within a specified percentual deviation from the expected measurement, after the unit has been converted.

In order to process measurement results, you have to use the activity PROCESS_MEASUREMENTS in your rule set.

Example

Expected measurement:    90°F (degrees Fahrenheit)

Actual measurement:    30°C (degrees Celsius)

Confirmation type:    Confirm if converted amount lies within % deviation

Confirmation deviation:    25 %

Actual measurement after unit conversion:    86°F (degrees Fahrenheit)

Result:    90°F - 25 % = 67.5°F <= 86°F <= 90°F+ 25 % = 112.5°F

The measurement result is confirmed.
