Hi "U" guru's,

I'm trying to understand the following config aspects of DM. Can someone help me with understanding of each point and what would be the values related to this and why these will be used?

1)Group elements (register grp, command grp) for device category->what are the different possible values and Use?

2)Price classes and price levels in the billing master data in contract billing-->what are the different possible values and Use?

3)Reference material for creating material/device category->what are the different possible values and Use?

4)What are functional and cosntruction classes? e.g?

5)Defined different manufacturers of devices and installations---> Is this pure customization in each project implementations? or SAP has std values?

Thanks

Hi Raj,

1)There are following grouping:

a. Register groups:- Group of registers that belong to one or more devices or device categories.e.g. no of registers to the device i.e. 0,1,2,4..

b.Grouping together of several commands in a logical way. Example: for street lighting, the command group is made up of the commands turn on, diminish power, and turn off.

c.Group of interfaces of one or more device categories or devices. Example: a group of several pulse input points and a modem interface in the case of remote meters.

2)The Price classes and price levels are Classification of device categories that are treated with respect to price. Example: In conjunction with the price level, the price class is used to determine the rental price.

3)Reference material for creating material/device category->what are the different possible values and Use?

4) Construction classes : First summarization level in the classification of device categories.Several similar device categories can be grouped into one construction class.

The functional classes are Second summarization level in the classification of device categories. e.g. Several device categories or construction classes (each containing several device categories) can be grouped into one function class.

With regards,

Sunil
