This document discusses how activation types and priority determine which RTP component is selected in an RTP interface for billing. It provides an example where an RTP interface called DEMO00 has 3 components - DEMO01, DEMO02, DEMO03 - with different activation periods and priorities. Based on the activation dates and priorities, DEMO01 is used from 01/02/2011-28/02/2011, DEMO02 is used from 01/03/2011-31/03/2011, and DEMO03 is used for the other periods. Billing documents are shown to validate that the correct component was selected each period.

1. ISU EDM: Activation of RTP Component
– II
This post is a continuation of a previous post on ‘Activation Types‘. Here I plan to show the
example on how the Activation Types and the Priority play a role in the selection of the RTP
Component in the RTP Interface for the rate.
For more info on Activation Types and RTP Interface do look into the help.sap site.
In this post too there is no presentation as such so would be pasting the screenshots directly.
So first the scenario:
RTP Interface ’DEMO00′ has 3 RTP Components which are
DEMO01 having Priority as ’01′ Activation Type ‘Use individually and Activate
Generally’
DEMO02 having Priority as ’02′ Activation Type ‘Use and Activate Generally’. Active
from 01.02.2011 to 31.03.2011

2. RTP Component with Priority 2 Active. Type 'Use and Activate Generally'
DEMO03 having Priority as ’03′ Activation Type ‘Use and Activate Generally’. Active
from 01.01.2011 to 31.12.9999
RTP Component with Priority 3 Active. Type 'Use and Activate Generally'
Now for assigning the input parameters to the RTP Components the Quantity parameter for
all have been assigned to a Profile having values as ’10 units’ for a interval length of 60
mins.

3. Interval Length of the Profile
The Factor input parameter for Second RTP Component is assigned value as ’3′.

4. for the third RTP Component the factor is assigned value as ’4′.
The First RTP Component is activated in the RTP Interface and also at the Installation Level
for period 01.02.2011 to 28.02.2011. So it looks like this.

5. RTP Components in the RTP Interface
The factor for the first RTP Component is given the value as ’2′.

6. RTP Component activated in Installation
So now we can do the billing .The intent is to check the following.

7. * 01.01.2011-31.01.2011 RTP Component DEMO03 should be used.
* 01.02.2011-28.02.2011 RTP Component DEMO01 should be used.
* 01.03.2011-31.03.2011 RTP Component DEMO02 should be used.
* 01.04.2011-30.04.2011 RTP Component DEMO03 should be used.
-> DEMO01 is active from 01.02.2011 to 28.02.2011 with priority ’1′ activated in the
Installation.
-> DEMO02 is active from 01.02.2011 to 31.03.2011 with priority ’2′ activated in RTP
Interface.
-> DEMO03 is active from 01.01.2011 to 31.12.9999 with priority ’3′ activated in RTP
Interface.
Let’s check the Billing document for 01.01.2011-31.01.2011
Billing Document 01.01.2011-31.01.2011
Billing Document for 01.02.2011 to 28.02.2011

8. Billing Document 01.02.2011-28.02.2011
Billing Document for 01.03.2011 to 31.03.2011
Billing Document 01.03.2011-31.03.2011
Billing Document for 01.04.2011 to 30.04.2011

9. Billing Document 01.04.2011-30.04.2011
Done!!!
