Technical Data

Software Component Version ESM ERP 606
Technical Name MeasurementProcessing
Namespace http://sap.com/xi/ESM/ERP


Business Context and Use

The Measurement Processing process component covers the exchange of measurement relevant master data and meter readings. With the help of these services, you can request meter readings for a specific date, cancel such a request, upload the corresponding meter readings, and identify and read the corresponding meter reading documents.


In the context of smart meters, the communication takes place asynchronously between SAP systems and a meter data synchronization and unification (MDUS) system.

Integration

This process component communicates with other process components using the following interactions:

Structure

The following entities are part of this process component:

Business Objects

Measurement Reading A Measurement Reading is a measurement reading that is read from a measuring device. On the basis of this reading, maintenance activities are performed at installation points or on individual materials. For example, the temperature of a coolant pipe is measured in Celsius and entered as 25 degrees Celsius.
Meter Reading Card Meter reading card for transferring meter reading data.
Meter Reading Document A Meter Reading Document is a document that contains data with regard to a planned and performed meter reading for one measurement task.
Utilities Measurement Task A Utilities Measurement Task is a task used to provide measurements with time-dependent specifications in the Utilities sector, for example, consumption, energy, volume, power, and so on.

Constraints

The target group must run the IS-U back-end application component in order to use the operations that Measurement Processing contains.
