Manage Customer Information

The GA_HOUSE_CONNECTOR table has a Customer Number attribute. However, there is no table for managing customer information because customers often use external software (for example SAP) for this.

To manage customer information within an enterprise industry model , use the data model administrator to create the appropriate feature classes.

To manage customer information

  1. Create a new Customer feature class in the Administration topic.
  2. Add attributes as needed, such as Name, Address, Telephone, and E-mail.
  3. Customize the feature class form using the Form Designer.
  4. In the House Connector form, add a Basic ComboBox control for Customer Number and create the relation to the newly created table containing the customers.

Generate Customer Notifications

The Gas module helps you generate notification letters regarding planned work or interruptions in the gas network. For example, if a pipe has a defect and the gas must be stopped, you might do a network tracing to find all house connectors so you can notify customers.

There are several ways to generate customer notification letters.
