| Difference Reverse and Tables
of Measuring Point and Counter
What is the difference between Measuring Point and Counter? Measuring points are used to record discontinuous quantities/ value. For example- Condition of silica gel of transformer. Measuring counter are used to record continuous changing quantities/ parameters. For ex- Meter reading of an automobile. Measuring Point: Measuring points in the SAP System describe the physical locations at which a condition is described, (for example, Temperature and Pressure on a Boiler ). The characteristics associated with the measuring points which record the value can only be numeric characteristic. Measuring points are located on technical objects, in other words, on pieces of equipment or functional locations. For every measuring point there should be some characteristics to measure the reading. To enable you to differentiate more easily between the individual measuring points and provide them with a unit, you assign each measuring point to a characteristic. The parameters like Running Hours, Temperature, Pressure etc,, on equipments can also be mapped under measuring point. Counter: A type of measuring point, where a continuous reading is recorded (e.g. Milometer). In case the measuring point is a counter, it needs to be defined likewise. Counter readings are taken at counters at particular intervals and in particular measurement units. For Example, counter readings for kilometers driven or
electricity used
How I can use reverse counter? Just follow the following steps for using reverse counter. 1) Run the transaction IE02. 2) Enter the equipment number on which reversed counter is fixed. 3) Click on 'Measuring Points/Counters' push button. 4) Add new measuring point with characteristics, name, etc. 5) Tick mark the Counter check box. 6) Select the counter created & press 'actual data' button. 7) Here at bottom side on counter data screen area you will see a check box for count back words. Just tick mark it and your counter here onwards will start count in reversal manner. Measuring Point Tables: IMPTT is the table storing Measuring point.
