I think you have posted the thread in the wrong forum. You should post this in SAP IS- Utilities forum:

Your answer lies in the device management functionality of SAP IS- U.

However, if you need interfaces between SAP IS- Utilities with other systems you can check out the standard content/ Pre delievered SAP PI content for IS - U and if that does not fulfill your requirement, then you can think of PI custom interface development.

Hi Vipin,

Though your query is very old but I accidentally stumbled upon it & thought to share my understanding from AMI integration perspective.

The reads from a smart meter e.g. centron meters from itron are passed at regular intervals to head end ( e.g. TMS - Transaction Management System  from GE or OWCE - Open Way Collection Engine from itron). Head End pass these reads to IEE MDUS ( Itron Enterprise Edition -  meter data management system . On the meter reading due date for a particular portion/ MRU , a read request is sent to IEE MDUS who in turn sends the same to SAP through a batch job.

From a technical perspective, ESB is the middleware from HE to MDUS and from MDUS to SAP /PI. There are SAP standard webservices e.g. SmartMeterMeterReadingDocumentERPBulkCreateRequest_Out as the interfaces.

Thanks,

Ajay
