Functional Scope of the IS-U/CCS System

SAP AG 1999

Separation of Device Management and Billing

Billing-based usage(e.g. by suppliers)

Only the device data required for billing(such as rate data, device allocations, register relationships) has to be maintained

Device information record

Device management-based usage (by meter operators, distribution and transmission companies, for example)

Billing objects (such as the rate) do not have to be maintained

IS-U Device Management: Integration with Logistics

SAP AG 2003

A new low-energy housing development has been added to the supply area of IDES Utilities Inc. Most of the buildings are to be heated using off-peak storage heaters. The company decides to introduce a new double-rate meter category, which is also to replace all installed double-rate meters as part of the periodic replacement policy.

To model the procurement and implementation of the new devices, the project team is using the functions of IS-U Device Management:

SAP AG 2003

IS-U/CCS is integrated with the standard SAP system, and enables you to use standard components such as Materials Management, Plant Maintenance, and Sales and Distribution.

IS-U/CCS Device Management includes device technology, device installation, meter reading as well as the inspection and certification of devices.

The business scenario includes all IMG activities needed for mapping the technology, procurement, movement, installation and certification of devices.

The business scenario forms the basis for the practical exercises that course participants will work through later on in the course. The entire business process is shown, with examples ranging from the definition of device types and goods receipt through to installation and certification.
