Estimated Meter Reading

[joseph_jomy]

Hello there

Can someone explain to me how system calculates estimated read? In configuration, the only Estimation Parameters maintained is "Estimate based on previous reading for validation". There is no "Overestimation factor in percent" maintained. Also we don't have any user-exit written for this activity. But somehow system is able to calculate estimate read for us.

Thanks

HI Joseph,

There is no over estimation factor maintained but the tick that you see at the bottom (special proc.), triggers the SAP enhancement EDMLELHA where a custom logic can be built. Since it is ticked in your case, there is a custom logic in place calculating the estimation.

You can check the enhancement EDMLELHA in SMOD transaction.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Monis for trying to help but enhancement EDMLELHA is not implemented in our company.

Thanks

Hi Josheph,

As far I know Standard SAP Estimation works like this .

1. System checks what is the "Base period category" maintained at installation either "Pervious period " or "Period of Prev . year"

2. After this system checks what is the "Minimum portion" % maintained at Register rate .

How to find out register rate

  a. Take Installation Rate category and Rate type for the register you are estimating for that period ,           now pass these two parameters into TCODE EA87 you can see Register rate, in the header of this       rate you will see "minimum portion" % value

  b. Minimum portion value tells that minimum of this much of base period meter readings are                     necessary for estimation.

3. If Base meter reading is not present then in that case system will use "periodic consumption" value for estimation .
