1. SAP IS-U / CCS (AN OVERVIEW)IS-U/CCS is a business
process-oriented customer information system that handlesall
categories of supply and services provided by utility and service
companies. You can use IS-U/CCS to manage and bill residential,
nonresidential, and service customers and to manage prospective
customers. IS-U/CCS is exceptionally flexible. It supports a varied
range of divisions andbusiness partners and provides a large number
of functions. Furthermore, IS-U/ CCS processes all business
transactions and activities with a central business partner
jointly, and it offers account management, which integrates all of
a business partners payment transactions.In addition, you can take
advantage of powerful customizing functions and the flexibility of
the R/3 System to customize IS-U/CCS to meet your individual
organizational requirements.
Utility companies can use IS-U/CCS to bill all the traditional
divisions:-- Electricity- Gas- District heating- Water and waste
water- Vehicle Utility
ISU Basic Data ModelIS-U/CCS also handles billing for waste
disposal (as of Release 1.2) and cable television
connections.Because IS-U/CCS is integrated with the Service
Management (PM-SMA) and Sales and Distribution (SD) application
components of the R/3 System, you can also bill service orders and
service contracts for services of all types, plus the sale of
goods, such as meters, heat pumps, and consumption devices.IS-U/CCS
jointly invoices (if desired and appropriate in terms of time) all
the services that a utility company provides to customers. It
combines them into a single bill and processes them for accounts
receivable via Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.Moreover,
using an interface you can include the billing results from
external billing systems in invoicing. This allows you to
collectively create bills and process accounts receivable with the
billing results of IS-U/CCS (Release 2). Of particular significance
in IS-U/CCS is the collective billing of services from more than
one company. This includes convergent billing and intercompany
billing. With convergent billing, a utility company can manage the
services of a third party and include them in its own
bill.Examples:-- Waste disposal in behalf of the city sanitation
department,- Cable charges for telecommunications companies-
Drainage charges on behalf of the municipality.With intercompany
billing, several independent companies (each with their own
separate balance sheets) can combine their services into a single
bill. The services are based on contracts with different company
codes. Integrating services from more than one company provides
advantages to bothconsumers and utility companies. Integration is
also the foundation for future forms of billing in a deregulated
utility industry where the services of any one division consist of
service components from more than one company.

Functions and Special Features:-Most important functions and
features of IS-U/CCS.
Important functions and features of IS-U/CCSBasic Functions and
ToolsWith the basic functions of IS-U/CCS, you can manage the
addresses and regional structures and generate scheduled dates for
meter readings, budget billings, and regular billings.The print
workbench gives you the capability for flexible layout of bills and
other customer letters using SAPscript, the word processing system
of the standard R/3 System. You can either edit the data in
SAPscript and pass it to the printer, or you can make the data
available for mass printing at the raw data interface (RDI).As part
of the migration process, you can transfer data from your current
systemto IS-U/CCS.Other functions allow you to:- Configure screens
with tab strips- Enter nonstandardized additional information as
notes- Store time-dependent data as information in a history-
Maintain number ranges to assign unique sort features- Set up
flexible access protection- Log changesMaster DataThe master data
in IS-U/CCS includes:- Business partners- Contracts and contract
accounts- Connection objects (such as buildings or land) and the
premises, utility installations,and device locations they
contain
Basic Master Data in ISUSome of the Sub-Modules in SAP ISU:
-Device ManagementFor managing utility company devices, meters, and
equipment, IS-U/CCS offers the following functions:- The capability
to divide devices into device categories- Meter and device
procurement, warehousing, and stock movements using integration
with the Materials Management (MM) component- Maintain installation
structures with their existing relationships between meters,
devices, registers, and rate data- Maintain rate reference values
and other information about the purchase of power- Installation,
removal, and replacement of meters and devices- Device inspection
and certification based on a sampling procedure or individual
certificationIn addition, device management allows you to create
meter-reading orders and enter consumption and demand. In this
area, IS-U/CCS offers the following functions:- Create meter
reading orders and documents in printed or machine-readable form-
Enter meter reading results manually or automatically- Conveniently
connect external entry systems- Validate meter reading results-
Correct or post-process meter reading results- Monitor meter
readings- Valuate at flat rates consumption and demand on the basis
of various replacement values (such as the number of cable
television connections or the energy intake of
streetlights)Contract BillingBilling is the core of IS-U/CCS. It
covers the billing of supply categories and services. In addition,
you can incorporate the services that you processed and billed with
the Service Management and Sales and Distribution components and
the meter reading results from external billing systems in IS-U/CCS
invoicing (Release 1.2 and Release 2).A contract is billed as
follows:1. The necessary data is collected.2. The data is prorated.
The system accounts for price and tax changes during the billing
period.3. The system converts the readings into billable quantities
(such as register factors or thermal gas billing).4. The quantities
are valued using rates in which the utility company has stored its
billing rules.5. The meter reading results are validated and form
the basis for invoicing.Forms of billing in IS-U/CCS:-Periodic
billing- Floating backbilling- Period-end billing- Interim billing-
Final billing- Budget billing and average monthly billing or
equalized billing (North America)The most important functions of
contract billing:-- IS-U/CCS supports as billing cycles both annual
consumption billing and monthly billing cycles for less than a
year.- The system bills nonresidential and residential customers in
the same data structures with the same functions. The two types of
customer are differentiated only by the data.- You can reverse all
forms of bills. You can initiate credit memos and backbillings.- In
addition to automated billing, you can use manual billing (Release
2).- IS-U/CCS supports many division-specific types of billing.Some
examples are:o Thermal gas billing procedureso Billing of public
lighting using electricity or gaso Waste disposal (Release 1.2)o
Company and plant consumption of the utilityo Billing for employees
(Release 2)Invoicing:-- Generates accounting documents for
receivables and credit memos from billing documents- Offsets
accounting documents against down payments made, particularly paid
budget billings- Formats data for bill printout- Creates new budget
billing plans- Supports the calculation of taxesWith bill printout
you can flexibly design and display your bills according to your
needs. You can print bills using the IS-U/CCS print workbench or
make them available to external print systems for mass printing. In
addition, you can insert individual notification texts or flyers
with printed documents.Contract Accounts Receivable and
Payable:-Because of their large numbers of customers and generally
monthly billing or budget billing request, utility companies create
large volumes of requests for payment. So that you do not have to
maintain this mass data under General Ledger Accounting, IS-U/CCS
offers an integrated subledger called contract accounts receivable
and payable.Contract accounts receivable is especially designed to
meet the needs of mass processing. At specific intervals, the
system transfers the accumulated individual postings to the general
ledger of the Financial Accounting (FI) component or to the general
ledger of a third-party system. You can also transfer sales or
service invoices from the Sales and Distribution component to
contract accountsreceivable and payable (Release 1.2).The objective
of contract accounts receivable and payable is to automate all
transactions as far possible. You only need to manually intervene
when a transaction requires a decision.The most important
characteristics of contract accounts receivable and payable:-- You
can individually customize account and open-item displays.- In
response to certain business transactions, the system automatically
creates printed documents (such as checks, account statements, and
returns correspondence) and correspondence with user-defined text.-
Using a neutral interface, the system can transfer and
automatically perform postings that result from automated incoming
payments (from front-end systems, financial institutions, or
agencies), from collection procedures, credit refunds, or returns
processing.- The system can process and include in invoicing down
payments for energy consumption (budget billings) and for services
to be performed in the future.- You can impose payments in advance
or security deposits on customers with a negative payment history
or a bad credit rating.- Flexible dunning is based on dunning
levels that you can define for each receivables item. Every utility
company can define the individual steps of the dunning proceedings
itself. The system maintains all information relevant to dunning in
a history that is the basis for a credit rating.- You can calculate
interest on debit and credit items at the line-item level. You can
determine rates of interest individually depending on the business
partner or transaction concerned (so far as legal requirements, for
example, exist).- You can defer receivables items or transfer them
to installment plans.- You can send documents relating to different
accounts or business partners jointly to a collective bill
recipient, for example, a housing construction company).- You can
identify receivables as good, doubtful, and irrecoverable and then
process them accordingly.- You can manage and process unallocatable
incoming payments.- Receivables items are included in financial
accounting.SAP Business Workflow:-The SAP Business Workflow
component of the standard R/3 System allows you to coordinate
business-process flows across applications. Underlying the
workflows is a model of the various business processes that you
define. A workflow consists of individual steps performed by a
single person, possibly time-delayed, or by a number of different
people. The system can execute certainsteps automatically, such as
initiating a confirmation letter after a rate change or logging
changes (such as change in the contract, bank data, or budget
billings) that result from a customer contact. The SAP Business
Workflow component provides technologies and tools for automatic
control and processing of workflows. It allows you to adapt
IS-U/CCS and the standard R/3 System to meet the needs of your
utility company.It makes sense to map a business process as a
workflow if it:- Keeps occurring in the same or in a similar form-
Consists of a number of possibly cross-application processing steps
that have to be executed as a structured whole- Consists of a
number of processing steps involving more than one person or
departments or that are time delayedIS-U/CCS contains predefined
reference workflows for some of the more important business
processes. These include processes for disconnecting and
reconnecting a utility installation and installing a service
connection. These workflows are discussed in the chapter titled
Business Processes. The organizational plan of the utility company
determines which staff members are involved in a workflow. You can
define this organizational plan using the Organizational Management
component of the standard R/3 System. The system assigns tasks
automatically to the appropriate staff members. The system
processes the assignment of work via the integrated inbox, which
supports staff members as they work. The workflow also ensures that
required actions, such as the notification, are not overlooked. A
log allows you to trace exactly the steps executed for each
process. In addition, you can trace the status of any workflow. If
deadlines are missed, the system can automatically notify a
supervisor. A flexible information system allows you to analyze the
runtimes of individual steps and processes. With this data you can
identify weak points in the application flowand optimize the
relevant processes.Customer Service:-Every year, larger utility
companies deal with several hundred thousand direct customer
contacts. In light of this large number, efficient processing of
contacts is an important performance characteristic of IS-U/CCS. In
particular, entering business transactions places considerable
demands on the user interface, service flow, and response time of
the system.The front office is the most important part of customer
service. This is where customers can obtain information on all the
important data and start all the processes that are important to
their work centers. Depending on the content of the business
processes, it uses R/3 workflow management to support the flow of
those processes.You can configure the front office to your
requirements in Customizing. These configurations allow you to set
up a work environment specifically suited to a particular staff
member and to define which data and transactions that the staff
member is allowed to access.In its customer information IS-U/CCS
offers various ready-made views with which staff can provide
customers with information on, for example, their data and
accounts. Workflow management contains predefined transactions with
which staff can handle such jobs as:- Creating a new premise-
Processing a move-in- Changing a contract- Entering a fault
report.The initial step in any customer contact in the front office
is the identification of the customer, which is supported by a
powerful search function, the Data Finder. You define in
Customizing which data the system uses as search criteria. You can
automate this step by integrating a computer telephone integration
(CTI) system and display an initial information screen that
contains information on the customer. Once the customer has been
identified, your staff can call up information screens and then
branch from there to additional, detailed views. If changes are
required, you can make them on the spot.For example, you can change
bank details or process a move-in.If you cannot complete the
transaction because required data is unavailable or if detailed
processing is required, you can:- Initiate a workflow : Depending
on the definition of the workflow, you continue the transaction
inthe back office when the necessary events have occurred- Create a
follow-up for the appropriate person : In this case, you can enter
customer information in a note and attach it to the
follow-up.IS-U/CCS automatically logs the customer contact. You can
enter notes (like marketing- relevant remarks) on a customer
contact. You can quickly obtain an overview of prior contacts and
sort them according to various criteria, such as prior dunning
events or field service operations. The log record for the customer
contact references the relevant object or documents. This means
that you can displaythe dunning letter sent for a dunning event,
for example, directly from the log.
Work Management:-The efficient performance of services is
increasingly important for utility companies in times of growing
competition and increased customer orientation. Utility companies
consequently plan and cost such services as work orders.Examples
include:- Setting up service connections- Maintaining technical
equipment, performing periodic device replacement- Processing
repairs and reports of damage- Creating collection and
disconnection orders- Performing energy consultingIn IS-U/CCS, Work
Management processes those work orders. Work Management uses
functions from the standard Plant Maintenance and Service
Management component and integrates them with industry-specific
functions from IS-U/CCS to form cross-component business processes.
In many cases you can bill customers for work orders. Where this is
the case, the system executes the Inquiry >>> Quotation
->>> Order transaction before the work order and the
Billing >>> Invoicing transaction after the work order.
The system handles these transactions based on the integration of
the Plant Maintenance and Service Management and the Sales and
Distribution components.You can combine the billing results for
services from Sales and Distribution with the results for energy
billing from IS-U/CCS in IS-U/CCS invoicing and show them on one
bill (Release 2).Information System:-The Information System enables
you to analyze the data resources underlying ISU/ CCS.Like other
components of R/3, IS-U/CCS offers a variety of forms
ofanalysis:-StatisticsThe statistics are based on a statistical
dataset, which the system updates continuouslyor monthly from
dialog and batch functions. IS-U/CCS distinguishes between three
different statistics applications:oStock statistics:- Stock
statistics reflect the current stock of all the essential objects
in thedataset at a specific point in time.oTransaction statistics:-
Transaction statistics cover the most important processes executed
duringa specific period of time. These might include move-in or
move-out or disconnection.oSales statistics:- Sales statistics
provide comprehensive information on quantities sold inthe various
divisions and the resulting revenues.The Logistics Information
System (LO-LIS) component of the standard system enables you to
evaluate the statistical dataset. The Logistics Information System
offers many different options for evaluating, analyzing and
presenting data.-IS-U/CCS NavigatorWith the IS-U/CCS Navigator you
can get a quick overview of how the datainterrelates within
IS-U/CCS. Starting from any given data object, such as acustomer,
you can use graphics to navigate through the entire data
environmentof the object.
