Meter reading import

Reading import is the process of importing meter readings from an external system into Infor Public Sector.

In most cases the import corresponds to a previous meter export. The export process creates a data file that lists meters to be read, which is delivered to the agency or contractor that reads the meters. The reading agency later returns another data file from which the readings are imported.

You can also perform a self import, in which meter readings are imported without a prior export.

Like the export process, the import process uses a keyword-based template to transfer data from the import file to the Infor Public Sector database.

Before you can import meters you must set default import options in Meter Reading Import Setup. When you import meters you can use the default options or you can enter different values.

Meter import is a batch process, so the Batch Manager must be installed and running.
