Hi,

Please find the information regarding execution of application form from the form class -

Application Description

This form class represents the data hierarchy that is used as a basis for meter reading order creation. The meter reading orders are downloaded to an external file or system for the purposes of meter reading by the meter reader.

Description of Data Hierarchy

The meter reading unit is represented by the header node. Below this level the technical and business data is stored for the corresponding objects. The lowest level is for the registers. Usually one meter reading is stored for each register.

Printing Test

The test download from the maintenance screen of the application form is not possible. Meter reading orders can only be downloaded if they were created beforehand. To do this, proceed as follows:

Execute meter reading order creation by choosing Utilities Industry -> Device management -> Meter reading -> Order creation.

Make sure that the MDE number field (mobile data entry number)of the relevant meter reading unit contains an entry. If meter reading order creation occurs on the basis of a schedule record, the planned meter reading category must be 01 (meter reading by utility company).

Choose Meter reading -> Order output and select the form type Download spool oder Download IDoc.

If you select Download Spool, the data is transferred as a file to the spool file. By maintaining a corresponding output device, you can define an alternative target host.

If you select Download IDoc, the data is formatted as an IDoc and you can use the normal IDoc functions.

Also, for getting the values into the Z table, you need to create a Z Application form using the standard application form and define the user exit for the same.

For the Z Application form, you can add a before exit in node Register, for this before node, you will have the values in table LT_READING, based on the values you can add a condition to update the records in Z table.

Also, for the Meter reading unit (print settings), the form specifications are configured. So, change the form detail accordingly, to use the new Z form created..

Hope this may be of some help!!
