EASTE "Register-related Period Consumption"

[smetraux]

Hi,

I'd like to know where and when is defined or updated the Register-related Period Consumption storedin the table EASTE?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

It is required when you are installing a device to a utility installation by tcode EG31 (Full installation) or during billing related installation by tcode EG34.

Later you can change the periodic consumption value by tcode EL56.

Hope it will help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Do you know if there's a way to automate the update of this periodic consumption based on the effective consumption (during the billing process for example) ?

Kind regards,

Sébastien

Hi,

There is no such process by which you can update it automatically in register level. You need to write a report to update it.

You can create a custom variant program which will calculate the periodic consumption during bill run. You can use the same value to update the periodic consumption at register level.

Please note that updating the periodic consumption at register level directly impact your meter reading extrapolation process. If there is a change in periodic consumtion in the base period, SAP will use the periodic consumption value straightaway for current period extrapolation. It will not calculate the per day consumption in the same way as I have mentioned in your earlier message.

Thanks.
