disconnection/reconnection of a utilities installation

Disconnection/Reconnection of a Utilities Installation This post is on Disconnection Documents: Specifically on what exactly each check box in

Customizing does/effect the Disconnection process and with that also a look how the

status of the Disconnection document changes. So below is configuration setting for

‘VACA’ – Vacant House Disconnection Processing Variant.

This post would deal in the check boxes for

• Without Release

• Explicit Closing

• Billing Relevant

• Technical completion of Work Order

• Device Removal Allowed.

So for ‘Without Release’.

If this checkbox is checked, when we create a disconnection document it directly

changes from status 0 – New to 1 – New, Release Unnecessary. So here I have

unchecked this checkbox and when I create a disconnection document, I see a Release

button which on been clicked changes the status from 0 – New to 10 – Released.




Now once we ‘Generate Disconnection Order’ the status of the Disconnection Document

changes to 20 – Disconnection started as shown below. Also at this stage the objects

which need to be disconnected are also filled in. As in the customizing we have

maintained Order types to be used to create Disconnection Work Orders, these are also

created(not shown here).





If we check the Installation we can see the ‘Disconnection started’ status. The device

won’t have any disconnection information at this point of time.






Once ‘Enter Disconnection’ is processed the status of the Disconnection document

changes from 20 – Disconnection started to 21 – Disconnection carried out.





The Installation and the device status also changes.

Sometimes it may happen that status of the Installation and the Device instead of

changing to Red, changes back to Green. This can be confusing. Make sure when

executing disconnection, do some process with respect to the disconnection activity.

The below check box for ‘Technical Completion of Order’ if checked then does the TECO

of the Work Order (generated during the Disconnection Order generation process) on

confirming the disconnection(status 21).







Now on ‘Generate Reconnection Order’ the status of the Disconnection document

changes to 22 – Reconnection started.






When ‘Enter Reconnection’ is done the Disconnection document status is changed to 30

– Reconnection carried out completely.

Now when ‘Complete’ is pressed, then the status of the document changes to 99-

Completed.





The Installation and Device status also changes back to Green.





Now if I remove the checkbox for ‘Explicit Closing’ then, the Order would be Completed

and show status 99, skipping status 30 when Reconnected. Also removing the checkbox

‘Billing Relevant’ removes the check for ‘Relevant to billing’ in the disconnection

document.






To reverse any disconnection activity, just select the activity by clicking on it, and then

press ‘cancel’.

The status would revert back to the initial one depending on the process. Here I have






reversed the disconnection as well as the disconnection order.

Now let’s see ‘DevRemDespDisc’ which is basically to allow removal of device while it

has been disconnected. So as per process removal of device would happen after the

disconnection has been done i.e. status is 21.

Now in the standard code once a device is removed, the disconnection document status

changes to 27 – All device removed and disconnected. Check FM





ISU_DISCDOC_DEVICE_REMOVE.

So I have tweaked the system by adding custom code during saving of a Meter Removal

Order. It checks whether the Equipment to be removed is associated with any

disconnection document with status 21. If yes the status of the disconnection document

is changed to 23- Device removal started using FM ISU_DISCDOC_ACTION_SAVE.






When the Order is TECO and the device is removed in the system using EG32 the

disconnection document is updated with status 27 – All Device removed and

Disconnected.

Now if we have more than a one device then the status changes to 24 –Device Removal

Executed as the other device is still installed. Once all the devices are removed the status





changes to 27.

The same custom code works for reconnection of devices too. When the work Order for

Reconnection is created,it check if there is any disconnection document with status 22.





Once found the status is changed to 25 – Device Installation started.

Once the Work Order is TECO and the device Installation done through EG31 the status

changes to 26 –Device Installation Carried out. After this ‘Enter Reconnection’ is done

to change the status to 30.





That's it.

Happy Holidays!! :)
