Functionality
This BAPI imports the meter reading results and additional informationfrom one of the following three tables of meter reading results into theIS-U/CCS system:

• METERREADINGRESULTS


• METEREADINGRESCHANGE


• METERREADINGRESUPDATE

For a description of the individual table fields, refer to thedocumentation for the parameter.
In order to process an uploaded record, a meter reading or a meterreading note must exist.
To start uploading meter reading results, one of the three parametersmust be filled.
The three processes are:

• Enter meter reading results

The parameter or table METERREADINGRESULTS contains the uploaded recordsof the meter reading results to be entered.

• Change Meter Reading Results

The parameter or table METERREADINGRESULTS contains the uploadedrecords of the meter reading results to be changed.

• Update Meter Reading Results

The parameter or table METERREADINGRESUPDATE contains the uploadedrecords of the meter reading results to be updated or the meter readingresults to be entered and changed.

Enter meter reading results
There are two processing scenarios:
A corresponding meter reading order exists for theuploaded meter reading result. In this case, the result was previouslydownloaded to an external system. The records uploaded from this systemcontain the internal ID of the meter reading order. The Material,
Serial Number, Register, and Meter Reading Reasonfields can be ignored.
No corresponding meter reading order exists for the uploadedmeter reading result.
In this case, the key fields for one of the following alternatives mustbe maintained:
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material must alsobe entered.
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material numbermust also be entered.
Point of Delivery, Register, Meter Reading Date
RESET N1
INCLUDE ISU_JBP OBJECT DOKU ID TX
If no meter reading order exists for the uploaded meter reading result,in addition to the key fields described above, you also have to enterdata in the meter reading time (MRTIMEFORBILLING) field: Allmeter reading results of an installation with the same meter readingreason must be entered at the same time.
An upload without previously creating a meter reading order is onlypossible for the following meter reading reasons:


• 01 Periodic meter reading

An order creation for meter reading reason Periodic is onlypossible if a corresponding schedule record can be determined. InCustomizing for Meter Reading under Basic Settings -> DefineControl Parameters for Meter Reading Data Processing in the
Interval for MR Order Creation During Upload of Periodic Resultsfield, you can enter an interval to determine the relevant schedulerecord based on the meter reading date.
You can also enter the planned meter reading date. The interval is nottaken into in this case. The corresponding schedule record is accesseddirectly.

• 08 Meter reading upon technical installation

Meter reading results for technical installation can be uploaded outsideof the installation transaction. These meter readings are then added oninstallation.

• 09 Interim meter reading without billing


• 13 Meter reading on disconnection of installation


• 18 Meter reading on reconnection


• 19 Delivery meter reading


• 02 Interim meter reading with billing

Change Meter Reading Results
The uploaded record changes the existing meter reading results in thesystem.
There are two processing scenarios:
A corresponding meter reading document with a meter reading resultexists for the uploaded result. The uploaded records contain the
internal ID of the meter reading document. The Material,
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Reason and
Auxilliary Date fields can be ignored.
A corresponding meter reading document with a meter reading resultexists for the uploaded result. The internal ID of the meter readingdocument is not known and the uploaded records do not contain the ID.In this case, the key fields of one of the following alternatives mustbe maintained to identify the meter reading document to be changed:
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Date, Auxilliary Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material must alsobe entered.
Serial Number, Register Code, Meter Reading Date, Auxilliary Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material numbermust also be entered.
Point of Delivery, Register Code, Meter Reading Date, Auxilliary Date
RESET N1
The auxiliary date for background processing (MRDATEFORIDENTIF) must bespecified in order to identify the meter reading result to be changed.This date corresponds with the meter reading date of the meter readingresult to be changed before processing.
If no meter reading result to be changed can be identified during theupload process, the meter reading data of the uploaded record is notimported into the system.
INCLUDE ISU_JBP OBJECT DOKU ID TX
- The meter reading time cannot be changed by the upload process.
If the meter reading data for the installation meter readings (MRreasons 21, 08, 24) is not uploaded using the internal ID of the meterreading document, the information on the meter reading reason must bespecified in the uploaded record.

Update Meter Reading Results
The uploaded record can either change the existing meter reading resultin the system or it can generate/enter a new meter reading result. Thisprocess is a combination of the two previous processes.
There are three processing scenarios:
A corresponding meter reading document with a meter reading result or ameter reading order exists for the uploaded result. The uploaded recordscontain the internal ID of the meter reading document. The
Material, Serial Number, Register, Meter ReadingReason and Auxiliary Date fields can be ignored. The uploadedrecord changes the existing meter reading result or creates a new resultin the system.
A corresponding meter reading document with a meter reading resultexists for the uploaded result. The internal ID of the meterreading document is not known and the uploaded records do not containthe ID. In this case, the key fields of one of the followingalternatives must be maintained to identify the meter reading documentto be changed:
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Date, Auxilliary Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material must alsobe entered.
Serial Number, Register Code, Meter Reading Date, Auxilliary Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material numbermust also be entered.
Point of Delivery, Register Code, Meter Reading Date, Auxiliary Date
The auxiliary date for background processing (MRDATEFORIDENTIF) must bespecified in order to identify the meter reading result to be changed.This date corresponds with the meter reading date of the meter readingresult to be changed before processing.
INCLUDE ISU_JBP OBJECT DOKU ID TX
- The meter reading time cannot be changed by the upload process.
If the meter reading data for the installation meter readings (MRreasons 21, 08, 24) is not uploaded using the internal ID of the meterreading document, the information on the meter reading reason must bespecified in the uploaded record.
If no meter reading result to be changed can be identified during theupload process, a meter reading order is identified for the uploadedresult or in no meter reading order exists, a meter reading document isgenerated and the meter reading result is entered in the system.
No corresponding meter reading order exists for the uploadedmeter reading result.
In this case, the key fields for one of the following alternatives mustbe maintained:
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material must alsobe entered.
Serial Number, Register, Meter Reading Date
If the serial number is not unique in the system, a material numbermust also be entered.
Point of Delivery, Register, Meter Reading Date
INCLUDE ISU_JBP OBJECT DOKU ID TX
If no meter reading order exists for the uploaded meter reading result,you also have to enter data in the meter reading time(MRTIMEFORBILLING) field in additional to the key fields describedabove: All meter reading results of an installation with the same meterreading reason must be entered at the same time.

Upload Customer-Specific Fields
You have the option to upload customer-specific fields (also seecustomer enhancement EDMMR001) using table EXTENSIONIN. The custome
r-specific data is not uploaded along with the standard data but in aseparate table, which has the following structure:


• Structure


• Valuepart1 + Valuepart2 + Valuepart3 + Valuepart4

The valueparts consist of strings of 128 characters. The key data andcustomer-specific data is stored there. You enter the structure in thestructure field. (If you use a BAPI to upload meter reading results,there is only one segment and therefore one structure). The structure isBAPI_TE_EABL.
Structure BAPI_TE_EABL contains the following fields:

• MATERIAL


• SERIALNO


• Register


• Meter Reading Reason


• Meter Reading Date


• Meter Reading Document Number


• Register Code


• Point of Delivery ID


• INCLUDE CI_EABL

Notes
Messages are returned in the RETURN parameter.
