*Portion:* Grouping of contracts that you want to bill together

Meter Reading Unit:Installations grouped together according to region, consisting of the devices installed there and their registers. Installations are grouped this way for purpose of meter reading and device management. The meter reading unit is the basis for the meter reading worklist.

Hi Shiva,

Please tell me what are the necessary things we need to care about.

Please tell me if we are only creating a new portion and we are assigning this portion to an already existing mru. The installations under that mru are already getting billed based on previous portion.

Now if i assign the new portion to that mru...when we create the MROs for one particular month then instead of creating one mro for each installation two MROs are getting created.

Please guide.

Thanks and Regards

I guess for creating new MRO will be created on basis of new portion.

Meter reading units can only be created if a portion already exists.

Several MRU can be allocated to one portion.

Meter Reading Unit from the basis for meter reading.

Hi,

A new periodic MRO created with dates which defined on Meter Reading Unit. This Dates ,basicly,taken from the Portion dates (In Portion Creation,you must define the first date and Period Characteristics..) .

After that you must define Schedule Records to A portion and to the MRU.You do that through EA43.

After this step, you can see your Schedule Records in E43C Transation.

Now,You can use EL01 / EL06 / EL09 to perform Meter Reading Order.

Best regards,

Michael.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Could you please tell me how can we change the value in 'end of bill. per.' field in a portion.

Thanks and Regards

[Former Member]

This field is not possible to change.

From this date the Meter Reading Dates taken !

Try to create New portion and move the MRUs to the new portion.

Hope you understood.

Thank you for the Rate!

Have a great day and good luck !
