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.
If any customer opted for prepaid current bill then we have to receive the amounts similar to prepaid telephone bill.
All prepaid amounts FILE (From BANK or Utility or any prepaid service provider) loaded into the sap to the respective contract account as a CREDIT open item document with a certain document type (we can look this at FPL9 as credit amount)
SAP Developing this feature and may be relaesed in the year 2010.
Regards,
Konakanchi Narendar

Hi!
As far as I know there is a prepayment meter module (T-code: EPREPAY) that has been developed for Centrica (this is a big utility in UK). There is no documentation available, but you may query SAP about this.
What you could do though is to implement the following process:
1. Create a flat rate that is billing a flat amount using an installation fact.
2. Create a annual portion and meter reading - assign the meter reading to the installation.
3. Usually the prepaid system is an external system that can be interfaced with SAP. The interface should do the following in SAP:
a. Get the prepaid amount from the prepaid system and upload it to the installation fact. I
b. In the same time create a meter reading order with meter reading type 02 - this will automatically creates a billing order and because the installation is flat it will be billable.
c. Post a payment in the customer account (payment amout should be prepaid amount).
4. You will then bill and invoice the customer and you will get an invoice that will be posted in the customer account and it will be clear by the payment that is posted by the interface.
This is a basic process that you can develop further, depending on your requirements.
Hope it helps,
Daniel
