In the dynamic world of energy supply, process automation plays a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and accuracy in market communication. A key component of this system is the Common Layer in IS-U, which not only ensures automated process flows but also enables smooth data exchange and seamless data processing between market participants. <\/p>\n\n

In this article, we will take a look at configuring customer-specific processes and how to intervene in process flows in a targeted manner. <\/p>\n\n

Process documents, or as we call them: PDocs<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

Processes are tracked via process documents. A process document describes and documents the flow of business processes in utility companies. It serves as a guideline or template to record the exact sequence of a process, including the steps involved, responsibilities, and system settings. <\/p>\n\n

All information from the PDoc is stored in various tables, which appear as tabs. The process reference serves as the primary key. There is step-dependent and step-independent data, which is populated and retrieved depending on the stage of the process. <\/p>\n\n

Zur \u00dcberwachung der PDocs wird die Transaktion \/IDXGC\/PDOCMON01 verwendet. <\/p>\n\n

Process Customizing<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n

Processes are created in the system via client-specific customizing. This can be done via transaction SPRO<\/strong> (Cross-company data exchange -> Market process management for utility companies -> Process configuration -> Define process configuration) or via view cluster maintenance SM34<\/em> ( \/IDXGC\/VC_PROC ). <\/p>\n\n
