Purpose
You use this report to create an MDUS request.
The MDUS request informs the MDUS system of the periods and the rules touse to aggregate the profile values of the profiles stored in the MDUSsystem. The MDUS system performs the aggregation and sends the resultingconsumption values back to the SAP system.

Integration
You use profiles with values only stored in anexternal system (MDUS) and you have allocated them to intervalregisters. The storage location of theoriginal profile values is 2 Profile Values Originate froman External System. If you create billing orders for thecorresponding utility installation, they are given the MDUS status
01 Request Must Be Created (see MDUSStatus of Billing Order).
To be able to bill these orders, you have to use this report to send arequest to the MDUS system.

Prerequisites
To create an MDUS request, you have to simulate billing for the billingorder. This is only possible if the utility installation is billable(excluding the missing aggregated consumption values).
Once you have created an MDUS request, you can no longer change thebilling-relevant data of the utility installation (rate category,installation structure, installation facts, and so on).
You can only create one MDUS request for a billing order for eachutility installation. If two or more billing orders exist for a utilityinstallation, the system only creates an MDUS request for the oldestbilling order.

Features
The report uses the enterprise service
UtilitiesTimeSeriesCalculationERPBulkCreateRequest_Out to send therequest to the MDUS system.
Once the MDUS system has executed the aggregation, it uses theenterprise service
UtilitiesTimeSeriesCalculationERPBulkCreateConfirmation_In to sendthe resulting consumption values back to the SAP system.

Selection
If you select billing orders for which an MDUS request has already beencreated, the existing MDUS request is reversed using enterprise serviceUtilitiesTimeSeriesCalculationERPCancellationBulkRequest_Out. Thesystem then generates a new MDUS request.

Output
As soon as the MDUS system has successfully confirmed the request, youcan bill the billing order with the aggregated consumption values.
Any error messages are written to the application log for billing(IU00).
