This document discusses validation classes in device management, specifically absolute tolerance limits. It provides an overview of validations in device management, including independent validations like tolerance limits and dependent validations. It then demonstrates setting up an absolute tolerance limit validation, showing examples of meter readings that would result in warnings or errors based on the defined tolerance.

3. Validations in Device Management I
In the SAP system we have Validations for the Meter Reading Results.
There are 2 types of Validations.
1. Independent Validations.
2. Dependent Validations.
Menu path in customizing is Device Management -> Meter Reading -> Validations.
We also have User defined Validations.
Menu path in customizing is Tools -> System Modifications -> User Defined
Validations.
Independent Validations
•Validation that applies to one specific register.
•Fixed independent validations are carried out automatically in the system.
•Variable independent validations are carried out based on customizing settings.
Fixed Independent Validations are
•95 (previous meter reading implausible)
•96 (fixed value deviation validation)
•97 (resetting register validation)

4. Validations in Device Management II
Variable Independent Validations are
•01 (zero consumption)
•02 - 04 (permitted number of meter readings by the customer, estimations
and estimations + meter readings by the customer)
•05-07 (tolerance limits, absolute, relative and floating)
•11 (usage hours greater than usage hours of previous period)
•12 (usage hours compared to fixed value)
•13 (current demand compared to maximum demand)
•14 (current demand compared with minimum demand)
•15 (meter overflow)

5. Validations in Device Management III
Dependent Validations
Validation that applies to several registers in one device or
installation
Validations :
•Active/reactive relationship 01
•Serial switching relationship 02
•On-/off peak relationship 03
•Control relationship 04
•Volume correction factor relationship 05
•Volume correction factor calculation relationship 06
•Resetting register relationship 07

6. Period Consumption : 300 units for 30 days

7. Independent Validation Allotted : 05 Tolerance Limit Absolute

8. Comparison Period for 0001 defined as 1.(1 month comparison)

9. Tolerance Limits of Independent Validations
For consumption 0 to 399
1. Warning displayed
+dev 20 units and –dev 20 units
2. Error displayed
+dev 30 units and -30 units
For Consumption 400 to ….
1. Warning displayed
+dev 20 units and –dev 20 units
2. Error displayed
+dev 30 units and -30 units

10. Estimated MR on 24012011

11. MR given as 260 : NO Error/Warning

12. MR Given as 205 units : Error given -Deviation

13. MR given as 270 units : Warning +deviation

14. MR Given as 280 units : Error +deviation

15. Meter Reading for Feb. Estimated Reading

16. MR given as 545 units : Error -Deviation

17. Goes to Implausible Reading
