Validation class and link with ISU data

[ankit_munshi2]

hello,

I wanted to understand how validations linked with validation classes (maintained at rate level) gets triggered everytime we enter a meter read. As we know tolarence limits etc that determine max allowed MR in a period are determined by validation classes. But what I am trying to understand is - how does a VC linked at rate level tie with meter read entered at device/register level (because rate gets executed only during billing, so how does it ensure MR validations are run).. there must be a link somewhere that ties VC with register.

Example : a device with kwh and kva register, rates that calculate kva or kwh have seperate validation classes. How is MR entered in kwh register linked to validation class for kwh (and not for kva).

Thanks!

Hi,

Because the tolerance limits for the validations are defined in Meter reading node in SPRO as below:

SPRO path :

SAP Utilities -> Device Management -> Meter Reading -> Validations-> Independent ValidationsàDefine Tolerance Limits for Validation Classes.

Hello,

When you install a device, you install a billable register where you provide the rate type and Fact group and you have Installation which has rate category. Together system determines the rate and you can see that in ES32-->Billing Periods-->Rates(Tab). This way as soon as you have installation structure ready system has already determined the rate and thus the validation class.

However, the validation class on the register can be different from the rate and Validation class on the register takes precedence when you enter the reads.

In case, installed register i.e. ETDZ-PRUEFKL ( Validation class) is blank, system determines it from rate data.

Thanks Mohit! Makes sense. This was the link I was looking for.
