Definition
The real date of meter reading result for a register
This date is required for technical purposes
When several meter readings are taken on the same transaction date, they cannot be used to create time slices because, in many cases, there are no definite limits. In order to resolve these overlapping periods (referred to as conflicts in the following), the meter reading dates must be changed. The table conflict resolutions contains pre-defined solutions to these conflicts.
The real meter reading date is saved so that the end date of the billing period and the invoice line periods can be determined. The real date is also needed for reversals.
Example
The following dates were entered:
- Final meter reading F Jan. 31, 2002 at 10:00
- Device removal R Jan. 31, 2002 at 12:00
When the device removal is entered in the system, the meter reading date is automatically moved to Jan. 30, 2002 at 23:59.
When the final meter reading is entered in the system, the meter reading date is not automatically moved. As a result, the device removal takes place before the final meter reading, which produces a conflict.
Solution:
The final meter reading must be moved to the previous day, Jan. 30, 2002 at 23:58.: SM( F -> (-1;23:58) ). The device removal and final meter reading are now on the same day. The time of the device removal is 23:59 and therefore after the time of the final meter reading.
The following data is entered in the fields for the final meter reading in the table EABL:
- Billing-relevant meter reading date (ADAT) = 01.30.2002
- Billing-relevant meter reading time (ATIM) = 23:58
- Real meter reading date (ADATREAL) = 01.31.2002
- Real meter reading time (ATIMREAL) = 10:00
The fields ADAT and ADATREAL are relevant for determining the end date of the billing period.
