Incoming document entry system: Support and further development 2016
Project duration: 1 year
Brief description
In 2016, the incoming document entry system was developed further based on the legal specifications in the energy trade and new requirements. The main areas involve adaptation of the posting logic and introduction of the EDIFACT data format for excess/shortfall billing.
Supplement
Support for the incoming document entry system includes overcoming current productive, technical and functional problems. This is done via database changes (SQL) or code changes (.Net C#) to the application in coordination with the specialist departments. Due to changes in the law regarding energy trading or because of modifications to neighboring systems with which the application communicates, further development also takes place in addition to the support activities.
Subject description
The existing incoming document entry system is an application for entering and validating supplier incoming documents (invoices, dunnings, discounts). Posting data is forwarded to SAP via an interface and consumption data is transferred to a controlling system. For the further development in 2016, it is planned for the EDIFACT format to be introduced for excess/shortfall billing in the area of electricity and gas network usage, and for the discount settlement to be changed with the goal of reducing repeated errors in the sales tax calculation. In addition, the posting logic is extended so that SAP accounts are provided with predecessor/successor relationships, in order to ensure flexible maintenance capability for the actively used accounts. For the Austrian market, electronic invoices are also to be transferred in accordance with the requirements of e-control for the gas sector. The adoption of additional clients as a supplement to the previous two (EHA DE and EHA AT) is planned.
