Setting default meter import options

  1. Select Asset Management > Assets > Water.
  2. On the Meter tab, under Meter Management, click Meter Reading Import Setup.
  3. Specify this information:
    Import Directory Path
    Specify the path to the directory on the server where the data import file is located.
    Import File Template
    Select the template that you want to use.

    The template is an XML file that defines how the readings in the import file will be added to meter records in Infor Public Sector. The data mappings are based on keywords defined in the Keyword Manager. The list of available templates is defined in the MeterManagement configuration in the Configuration Editor.

    For meter import, certain actors are required in the template even if you aren’t importing the associated data. See the Infor Public Sector Template Editor Administration Guide for a list of the required actors.

    Sender Code
    Specify a code that will identify the sender in the data file. The sender is the agency or contractor that delivers the data file with the meter readings.
    Receiver Code
    Specify a code that will identify the receiver in the data file. The receiver is the agency that will import the readings into Infor Public Sector.
    Allow Partial Route Imports
    Select this check box if you want to allow partial import of an export schedule. For example, if an export schedule creates multiple files for different meter routes, you may want to import each route separately.
    Auto generate Service Request/Work Order during import
    Select this check box if you want to automatically create services requests and work orders based on the reader codes and problem codes in the import file. Reader codes and problem codes indicate conditions that require further attention, such as broken meters or meters that couldn't be read. You can associate a request type and an activity with each reader or problem code, indicating the type of service request or work order that will be created to address the condition.
    Reject meters when date read is earlier than the last reading date
    Select this check box if you don't want Infor Public Sector to import readings that were taken before the most recent readings in the system.
  4. Click Save.
