MR Results upload

Upload 
Use
You can upload meter reading results from external systems (such as MDE devices) using a
BAPI or IDoc of type ISU_MR_UPLOAD01 (upload meter reading results). The BAPI method is
called MeterReadingDocument.Upload. Corresponding structure BAPIEABLU contains the
following fields:
        MATERIAL (material number)
Material/device category
        SERIALNO (device serial number)
        REGISTER (register number)
        MRREASON (meter reading reason)
        MRIDNUMBER (internal meter reading document number)
The meter reading number identifies a meter reading order. A meter reading order is created for
each register to be read. The meter reading document number must be downloaded and
uploaded from the external system.
        READINGRESULT (meter reading)
The data record is transferred to the system if either a meter reading result or note was provided.
        METERREADINGNOTE  (meter reading note)
The data record to be uploaded is transferred if either a meter reading or note was provided. The
meter reading note can be assigned to a control function in IS-U. The control function defines
follow-up actions.
        ACTUALCUSTOMERMRTYPE (meter reading type)
Describes how the meter reading result was recorded – by a meter reader or by the customer, for
example.
        METERREADER (meter reader number)
The meter reader number is used to identify the meter reader. It is used as a default value and
can be stored in the schedule record of the meter reading. You can use the Meter reader
number field to indicate that the actual meter reader is different from the default meter reader.
        MRDATEFORBILLING (meter reading date)
Billing occurs on this date, which is also the end of the billing period. The end of the billing period
is determined.
        MRTIMEFORBILLING (meter reading time)
        ACTUALMRDATE (actual meter reading date)
        ACTUALMRTIME (actual meter reading time)
        MRDATEOFMAXIMUM (date of maximum reading)
        MRTIMEOFMAXIMUM (Time of maximum reading)
        SMORDER (service order number)
        ACTIVE (active indicator)
There are two upload scenarios:
...
       1.      Meter reading orders were already created and downloaded in IS-U.
Meter readings are assigned to IS-U orders via the document number when they are uploaded.
In this case you do not have to maintain the following fields:
        Material number
        Device serial number
        Register number
        Meter reading reason
       2.      There are no meter reading orders in IS-U/CCS
In this case you have to specify the serial number and the register number to identify the device
for which readings are to be entered in IS-U/CCS.
If the serial number is not unique, you also have to provide the material number and device
category. You also have to supply the meter reading reason, a meter reading date and a meter
reading.
Further information on IDocs:
        For general information, see  IDoc Interface/Electronic Data Interchange
        For detailed information, see  Using Documentation Tools
 Here you determine which documentation you can display for a certain IDoc.

Features
The enhancements EDMMRRES are available for upload. You use this enhancement to
manipulate meter readings after results have been uploaded and before the readings are
validated.

Meter Reading
Meter Reading 
Purpose
This component allows you to organize meter readings and meter reading results. Devices are either
read periodically for periodic billing or aperiodically, such as for control meter readings and readings
at the time of device replacement, removal, or disconnection.
Devices can also be read for a certain activity, such as a move-in or a removal. In this case, the meter
reading is triggered directly by the activity, and not by the Meter Reading component.
 Meter Reading Process
First, the meter reading order is created and printed as a meter reading document or downloaded to
an external entry system. The meter reading results are either entered manually or uploaded. They
are then validated and corrected, if necessary. The results are then forwarded to the Contract
Billing  (ISU-BI) component. Integration
The following Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPI) are available in the Business
Object Repository (BOR) for selecting meter reading orders and results:

 MeterReadingDocument.GetList (select meter reading orders and results)

 MeterReadingDocument.Upload (upload meter reading results)
Further information on IDocs:

 For general information, see the

 BAPI User Guide and   BAPI Programming
 For more information, see the BAPI documentation in the BOR.
