MeterManagement configuration
The MeterManagement configuration stores various configuration information for the Meter Management module.
The root node has a number of nodes as children, each of which defines an enumeration. An node has one attribute:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| id | ID for the enumeration. |
Each node has one or more nodes as children. At a minimum, each node has an id and a value, defining a name/value pair. There are also five optional attributes.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| display | Display text of the item. |
| id | ID for the name/value pair. |
| name | Defines one or more sort by columns. |
| path | Path to an associated file, such as an import or export template. |
| PerformReadyToBillCheck | For import templates, this attribute specifies whether Operations and Regulations will check readings to determine if they’re ready to bill during the import process. The default is False. If you set the value to True, Operations and Regulations will review each reading during the import and mark it as ready to bill if it meets the criteria defined in Reading Review Setup. |
| val | Numeric value of the item. Used only for reading review comparison options. |
| value | Value of the name/value pair. |
Enumerations
The enumerations are described below:
- ExportTemplate: Provides a list of available export templates. This defines the templates that are displayed in the Export File Template list in Cycle Reading Export Setup.
- Hansen.MeterManagement.Water.ReadingReviewComparisonOptions: Defines that comparison options that are available in Review Readings.
- ImportTemplate: Provides a list of available import templates. This defines the templates that are displayed in the Import File Template list in Cycle Reading Import Setup.
- ReadingReview: The ReadingReviewReanalysisPeriodDays value specifies the number of days after which an analysis run is assumed to be from the previous billing cycle. If the most recent run for a cycle and route is older than this number of days, then a new analysis run is created to evaluate all meter readings from scratch.
The default is 14 days. For monthly billing, this allows two weeks to analyze and prepare all readings in the cycle to be billed. For longer billing periods, this may need to be extended.
- RolloverPercentage: Stores the maximum percentages that Operations and Regulations uses to determine whether a reading that is lower than the previous reading represents a negative usage amount or a rollover. If the difference between the two readings is less than a certain percentage of the meter’s capacity, Operations and Regulations will show the usage as negative; otherwise Operations and Regulations will calculate positive usage based on a rollover.
- SortByColumns: Defines sorting options for reading routes.
- WaterMeterExportCreateScheduleInput: Defines various inputs for cycle export schedules.
- WaterMeterImportCreateScheduleInput: Defines various inputs for cycle import schedules.
