Bill,

 

This is a WF Forum. Not a general helpdesk. But you've caught me on a good day...

 

The answer to your question depends entirely on whether you intend to keep the Device installed for any period of time, especially if there's been any recorded consumption. 

 

You can technically 'reverse' a Device Installation as long as it has been uninstalled from a Billing point of view first. And if you carry out the Billing Removal for the same date as it was installed then the database will be completely cleared of any record about that Device having been installed at all. 

 

Of course, if you have recorded meter reads you'll either have to reverse them if you intend to do that or if you intend to keep them then you'll have to post a Removal read for all of the registers of the meter as part of the removal or before. 

 

Note that the XY_AUTO-AUTO_ZW parameter table in the second FM can be used to pass through Removal reads up front. You have to provide the right reads for the right register numbers though.

	Hello Mike,

	 

	I was wondering if you had to enter a read for the removal of the device in background ? My functional people are telling me I will need a read to do the removal.

	Bill,
	 
	The standard IS-U Methods were and still are rubbish (preumse you are using IS-U?) so back in 2003 in 4.72 we wrote our own to call FMs ISU_O_WORKLIST_INSTALL_OPEN and ISU_S_WORKLIST_INSTALL with NO_DIALOG set to 'X' and created our own ZDEVICE.FullRemoval method using a BAPIRET2 table to turn into an Application Log.
	 
	ECC 6 didn't give us anything better so we've stuck with our custom solution.

	 Hello all,
	
	I am on ECC 6.0 and trying to execute a workflow step in background that will remove a device. Currently the step is in foreground mode and executing BOR object DEVLOC and method DEVICEREMOVE.
	Just wondering if anyone has done this in background mode.
