Documentation
Definition
Classfies consumption (and demand) according to business criteria. This classification is derived from how the consumption is billed. Note that the classification is not identical to the rate based on which the consumption is billed, but is more general.
Use
The consumption type is primarily used in SAP IS-U and SAP CRM integration scenarios. It enables you to access the consumption data from IS-U when you calculate quotations for existing customers without using load profiles. To do this, the following criteria must have been met:
- You must have maintained the consumption types table
- You must have enhanced your rates to include rate steps with variant program QUANTI22 or QUANTI23. These variants include additional information in the billing document. In the entry operands for QUANTI22, maintain an appropriate consumption type. If required, you can also enhance you demand rates to include steps with variant program DEMAND22 or DEMAND23. Note that if you do this, you must maintain the consumption type for entry operands that have the DEMAND category.
If you have implemented the SAP IS-U/SAP CRM integration scenario, you can calculate quotations for customers in the CRM system. To do this, you require estimated consumption for the quotation period. In the case of existing customers, the consumption can be estimated on the basis of the meter reading results stored in the IS-U system. The CRM system contains a function for estimating the consumption does the following:
- Simulates billing for the utility installation
- Derives the consumption information from the simulated billing document
- Displays the consumption for each consumption type
The estimated data is managed in CRM as a profile. A separate quotation profile is created for each consumption type. You can use these quotation profiles in subsequent quotation calculations.
Dependencies
