Hello,

Prepayment Meter

This is a meter on which the consumed quantity must be paid for in

advance. Payment can be in the form of coins or a chip card.

Screen Field EDEVICED-PPM_METER

SPRO > SAP Utilities > Device management > Technology > Device Category > Define Prepayment Meter

Define Prepayment Meter

In this IMG activity you define types of prepayment meter.

A prepayment meter generally describes a case in which a customer can only use energy or services following prior payment

Example:

Chip card

Slot meter.

After you define the type of PP meter via the menu path you listed, then you must

assign that PP type to a device category via DevCat maintenance transactions. The assignment

of the PP meter type to the devcat will enable all devices created for that DevCat to inherit

the PP meter type value.

Hop ethis has been helpful

Olivia
