EASIM _ Simulation scenario Doubt

September 19, 2013, 3:53 am

Hi all,

I am doing rate category comparison using EASIM (Simulation scenario) functionality and maintained required configuration for alternative rate category.

 

If I maintained the meter reading (using El28) for next billing period and trying to run simulation for same period (start bill period and end bill period on EASIM screen)system is giving information message “Enter valid meter reading” and not allowing to simulate.

 

But whereas if there is no meter reading entered for next bill period, system is simulating bill correctly

 

Also If I change MR in meter reading tab page , it is also not working.

 

 

Am I missing something?

 

 

Using below Config:

Simulation Scen. Category: Simulation Period with Rate Category Comparison and alternative rate categories are maintained.

 

Thanks in advance,

Chetan

SAP ISU Certification - C_FSUTIL_60 SAP Certified Associate - Utilities with SAP ERP 6.0

Hi All,

 

In this post I just want to share my experience passing the SAP certification exam C_FSUTIL_60 SAP Certified Associate - Utilities with SAP ERP 6.0.

 

As most of the SAP certification exams, this one consists of 80 questions from the following area (number of questions are aproximative as are cited from memory):

Configure basic functions - 9 questions

Create master data - 9 questions

Validate integration - 8 questions

FI-CA Post Items - 9 questions

FI-CA Manage payments - 8 questions

Customer Service - 9 questions

Device Management- manage devices - 5 questions

Device Management-Process meter reading - 9 questions

Billing and Invoicing - 14 questions

 

There are questions with 1 answer and questions with multiple answers (the number of correct answers is specified). Questions with one answer have usually 4 answers to choose from and the ones with multiple answers have 5 answers to choose from.

The passing score is 53%, meaning you need to answer correctly to 43 questions.

My weak area is FICA but I scored 88% for FICA- Post Items but only 37% for FICA-Manage payments.

The certification can be done online. I took the exam at an authorized PearsonVue center, more details here:www.pearsonvue.com. The cost is 500 USD or 300 EUR.

 

Some sample questions:

1) About installation facts - one factor operand has value 1 at the installation facts starting from 1 sept 2012,  value 2 at the rate category facts level starting from 1st June 2012 and value 3 at rate facts starting from 1st July.

Q: What value is taking into account by billing engine for billing period 1.06.2012 to 30.06.2012

 

2) EASIBI transaction is execute successively but the are no posting to FICA. When can this happen? (2 answers are correct)

a) the print document is outsorted

b) the meter reading is implausible

c) the processing option was set to billing

 

3) Other question was about EL31 - Monitoring meter readings: for which master data you can see meter reading result with the following options:

a) Contract account

b) Contract

c) Premise

d) Tehnical installation

 

4) There was another question regarding register relation ships. The question had a picture where 3 devices where linked (dev 2 to dev 1 and dev 3 to dev 1) and there was the description of how this construct is behaving (the dev2 consumption is deducted from dev1 consumption) and the question was what kind of relationship is defined betweek the dev1 and dev2 and it had a few options, one of them was the serial switching.

 

 

There were some tricky questions I don't remember :), specially in the FI-CA :).

Other sample questions are here:

If anyone else has passed the certification exam, please feel free to share you experience in this post.

Receipt Number issue FPCJ

Hi ,

 

Like as per standard after accepting payment from FPCJ user needs to give acknowledgment to the customer immediately. We did all customization and development related with smartform of receipt. And assign this smartform to the particular correspondence type also.

 

We are getting smartform after payment also with all details we wanted except receipt number. After debugging we found out that DFKKREPT table is filling only after printing with receipt number while smartform is executing before that for data calling.

 

Any solution to get the receipt number will be highly appreciable.

 

Note- While reprinting we are getting receipt number.

 

Thanks and Regards

Hi experts,

 

now i'm using CRM for Utilities and IS-U/CCS.

I created BP and contract in CRM, and bp was successfully sent to ERP, but contract did not created.

I tryed to search contract in t-cd: CAA3 using bp, but message "Business partner 0002000263 does not exist in role Contract Part." was displayed.

(MSGNO:R1205)

 

how can i create a bp with role "contract partner" in CRM?

Role "contract partner" does not exist in CRM.

Or is there any other problem?

 

I don't want to maintain bp after it sent to ERP; i want customers to use only CRM and don't have to touch ERP.

Activation of additional Switch BC sets

Hello,

I've recently activated several business functions for Utilities via the Switch framework.

Apparently a few additional BC-sets have been saved with inconsistencies and therefore not all Switch BC sets are "on"

 

The reason for this inconsistency is that SAP delivered standard entries in the BC-set while in there exist no such entries in the system database table.

The activation of this switch is ended with error "Activation ended" reason is "Differences between BC Set and system Data"

 

My question: How can this be resolved?

Also, I suspect that is not necessary that all additional BC-sets are activated in order to have a good working IS-U environment

 

Important remark: I'm not able to find these additional BC-sets through transactions SCPR20 or SCPR3 (only the general ones are there) Why is this?

 

Thank you,

Krgds

FP06 - Select Open Items based on Document Numbers

Hi,

 

In transaction FP06 - Account Maintenance, The selection criteria include BP, CA, Contract, Company Code and Net due date. However, functionality is needed to filter items based on Document numbers. Is there any config, enhancement, alternative possible for this.

 

If we use FPE1, there is option to select Open items in application toolbar. There is option to filter item based on document number in that dialog box and this leads to FP06 only. Screen shots attached. From this it looks that this functionality can be easily added to FP06 directly.

Hello all,

 

Current situation:

I have a dunning procedure with three levels:

1- reminder

2- notice by registered mail

3- notice by regular mail

 

After the third level, dunning stops.

 

New situation:

1 - reminder

2- notice by regular mail

 

 

Pretty basic and easy setup, but I don't know what will happen with the items that are already in dunning level 3.

Does anybody have any experience with this? I'll test this of course, but would like to get some insight before we start building.

How to reverse closure (completion) of disconnection document?

December 31, 2013, 8:37 pm

I have a requirement to reverse the completion of disconnection documents through a BDC Program (of transaction EC86). The document contains 5 line items in Disconnection Activity as follows:

 

1. Disconnection Order

2. Disconnection Entry

3. Reconnection Order

4. Reconnection Entry

5. Completion

 

Since reversing requires scrolling down to the 5th line item, this poses as a significant challenge. Other posts suggest using the OK_CODE = '=P+' to simulate a page down or scroll, but it doesn't seem to be working primarily because the system ends up giving the error:

 

Function Code can not be selected.


More precisely, the system can't seem to find the table to scroll on to it seems. I've tried all combinations of BDC_CURSOR on EENO_DYNP-ZEILE(01/02) or EDISCD-ACTTYPTEXT(01/02) but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

This is my routine that performs the BDC:

 

perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLEC85' '0100'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_CURSOR'
                               'EDISCD-DISCNO'.
perform bdc_field using 'EDISCD-DISCNO'
                               PA_DISCNO.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE'
                               '/00'.

perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLES34' '0200'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE'
                               '/00'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_CURSOR'
                               'EENO_DYNP-ZEILE(01)'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE'

perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLES34' '0200'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_CURSOR'
                               'EENO_DYNP-ZEILE(02)'.
*                              'EDISCD-ACTTYPTEXT(02)'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE'
                               '=PICK'.

perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLSPO1' '0100'.
perform bdc_field using 'BDC_OKCODE'
                               '=YES'.

How to change exceptions into profit?

January 3, 2014, 5:16 am
$
0

Large data processing systems like SAP for Utilities have proven to be very efficient and robust. Despite this efficiency and robustness exceptions still occur and need to be handled. There are even situations where the process fails without any exception, leaving the users unaware of unbilled or late billed contracts in the system. Although this happens only for a very limited percentage of the total database, the absolute numbers of unbilled or late-billed contracts can still be large and working these situations means a 100 % contribution to the revenue.

 

Below an overview of some important questions when handling exceptions.


Did you find:

Answer

How?

Individual Errors?

Yes   

With EMMA/BPEM and EMMAX Case Categories

All Errors of the Process?

Yes   

With EMMAX/EMU

All Errors for a Customer/POD or other IS-U Master Data Objects?

Yes   

With EMMAX/EE

All Contracts invoiced?

Yes   

With EMMAX/PAM

All Resolved Cases closed?

Yes   

With EMMAX/CoCo

Solution Step?

Many

With EMMAX/BORIS

 

The above table shows that EMMAX covers the complete exception handling area, and not only individual EMMA Cases. EMMAX is a must have for all users of SAP BPEM/EMMA, or as one of our customers says: “EMMAX is a really awesome tool to discover hidden revenue and to ensure complete and consistent billing”.


The standard SAP BPEM/EMMA solution offers great functionality to identify the exceptions and turn them into cases that can be understood and handled by the business agents. BPEM/EMMA is widely used and integrated in some SAP IDEX solutions.


Unfortunately BPEM only offers functionality based only on exceptions and not on customers, contracts, POD’s or other business objects. EMMAX/EE offers the fully integrated option of showing cases related to the standard IS-U business objects. This prevents situations as shown in below picture and enables working all exceptions for a business partner, or any other standard SAP business object in one go.



EMMAX takes care of assigning, reassigning and forwarding cases based on the SAP Organizational Structure and a very flexible wizard based assigning function provided by EMMAX.


Excimp’s EMMAX/PAM provides automated processes to identify and resolve unbilled or late-billed situations, sometimes even without human interaction. This contributes totally to the net revenue in the system. Excimp offers the option of running a quick scan on productive IS-U databases showing the unbilled or late billed contract and providing an estimated dollar value on the missed revenue. With this information a business case can be created to proof EMMAX’s value.


Standard SAP's BPEM/EMMA requires more (customer build or resource based) management to enable an efficient exception handling. One thing we want to mention here as an example is the control of case statuses. Without a status control function it is hard to decide what the actual status of a case is. Cases need to be closed manually and agents sometimes forget to do so when resolving the exception, or exceptions are resolved by the process. This causes pollution of the EMMA_CASE database with old resolved cases with still open statuses. This is only one small example where EMMAX/CoCo offers a solution framework to automatically close a case when the exception is resolved and even preventing an agent from closing a case when the exception still exists. Of course EMMAX offers a lot more powerful additions on top of BPEM/EMMA without modifying the SAP software.



A major advantage of EMMAX is the short implementation time. EMMAX comes as an official SAP Add-On with a load of installation and implementation accelerators to enable our customers to be productive and start working the backlog efficiently within 2 weeks.


EMMAX/BORIS contains a large number of well documented predefined solution processes that help speed up resolving exceptions in a structured and consistent way. Implementing the steps from BORIS into an EMMAX Case category is done using a unique drag&drop function that reduces implementation and maintenance time enormously


Excimp’s EMMAX shows to be a profitable and very helpful tool to reduce exception backlogs, late and unbilled contract situations and back-office costs at small to very large worldwide leading utility companies from New Zealand through Europa up to the America’s. References are available upon request.


Bottom-line for this first EMMAX blog is: Handling exceptions brings profit and happy customers.

 

More blogs to be expected.

Only Event 00 is triggered in Payment Run FPY1

Dear Experts,

 

I am facing an issue regarding the generation of outgoing payment file in tcode FPY1. Whenever I try to create the file, it gives me a message say

"No data records found for these selection criteria

Message no. FZ208".

So I put a breakpoint in each function modules (for example FKK_PAYMEDIUM_SAMPLE_00, FKK_PAYMEDIUM_SAMPLE_10,..) configured in FQP3 and debug the program in FPY1 when I click on Schedule program run . I noticed only event 00 is triggered and the rests are not executed. Can you please tell me why only event 00 is triggered? Why wouldn't the other events get triggered as well? So how can I format the file if they are not executed?


Best Regards,
Sothorm
