 Central business partner model (R/3) => the customer is the central data object
 Cross-application component FI-CA for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
 Designed for processing a large volume of postings from sales and collection activities for a large
number of customers
 Industry-specific enhancements for the utilities industry enable the use of the standard R/3
component PM/CS (Plant Maintenance/Customer Service).
=> ideal prerequisites for processing service activities
 PM/CS is integrated with the following components:
 SD: Management of customer quotations and orders, and also execution of billing
 CO: Allocation and clearing of costs related to service activities
 MM: Processing of material requirements and goods movement related to service activities
 The results of service billing can be transferred to IS-U invoicing; further processing of debits occurs
via FI-CA.
 Material master records are managed in MM at the same time as device categories in IS-U;
purchasing and stockholding of devices are processed using MM components
