Hi

If it is correctly understood, you want to send the meter readings directly to system without manual intervention. In such case, you need to have a software to read the meter reading and save it as a .xls or .txt file. You save it to a ftp server. Then upload the each data to a table (Z-table) with required fields needed to create a PO. At the end of the month, pull the gross quantity for the month from the table and create a PO using BAPI. For price you can maintain Info-Record.

If you have XI, this integration will more easier through interfacing.

Regards

Hello,

I don't believe there is a PO for pipeline material.. you only do a goods issue based on the material master and the info record..

However, is yor issue from a provider standpoint or consumer standpoint?

Hi,

From the discussion, it sounds like a Pipeline material.

I'll tell you what you need to do to achieve this scenario, then you see if it suits your requirement.

1) Create a Pipeline Material - Electricity

2) Create Pipeline Info Record - Vendor for the electricity material (Here you store details like price per quantity)

3) Every month, Perform MIGO_GI with quantity based on the meter reading.

4) After posting MIGO_GI, perform settlement by accessing tcode MRKO

Hope this helps.

This will be treated as pipeline material. so PO is required. Payment will be done periodically.

Material is readly available, you can use when you required.
