Hi folks,

I am new to SAP Utilities. When I am going thru the documentation, I am not seeing a clear difference between the installation in the Premise, and the
Connection of the Connection Object. Can anybody clarify please...

Good question

Check out this site:

https://sites.google.com/site/kkrumi/sapis-u

"Connection Object is a building, piece of property or other facility that is connected to the supply grid.

A connection object is allocated an address. It links premises, device locations etc. to a postal regional structure.

The connection between premise, devices, and contract is referred to as an installation.

An installation is allocated to a single contract.

Used to group together all devices that are allocated to same premise, belong to same division and are to be billed together.

Several utility installations can be allocated to one premise (for different divisions, for example). The premise is therefore not related to one specific division. A deregulated scenario exists if more than one utility installation of the same division is allocated to a premise.

The installation stores the billing properties for one or more devices at a premise"

Does this help?
