# Report Description

The Meter Reading report generates a list of outlets for the use of field officers who can take a copy of the output into the field, complete the meter readings and return the report for manual or automatic input.

# Report Parameters and Options

| **Parameter** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Area | Select an area for which to run the report. |
| None/Group/Section | Refine the area selection by specifying a particular group or section, or choose none to generate the report for the whole area. |
| Start regulator | Regulator or regulators to use for generating the report. The report lists outlets in downstream order from the specified regulators.<br>Whether or not you need to specify the start regulator depends on how you have defined the report area. |
| Meter type | Filter the list of meters displayed (these options may vary depending on your system configuration):<br>- Non-shared - do not include shared meters
- All - include all meter types
- Other types - selected from a drop-down list |
| Exclude PPMs | Exclude pipe permitted meters from the report. |
| Report on | A set of options to restrict the outlets that are printed in the report:<br>- **General** - include all outlets.
- **Delivery since last meter reading** - include only outlets that have had a delivery since the last meter reading. You are prompted to enter an *Effective Date*. Enter a date before the current day to exclude outlets with orders starting today, but with no earlier orders.
- **No delivery since start of season** - include only outlets that have not had a delivery since the start of the season. This option may be useful if you need to check for unauthorised usages at an outlet.
- **Outlet ordered usage > allocation** - include only outlets where the water ordered exceeds the allocation for the property.
- **Within % of exceeding allocation** - include only outlets where the usage is currently within a specified percentage of the available allocation. You are prompted to specify a percentage.
- **Not read since date** - include outlets that have not had a meter reading since a specified date. You are prompted to specify a date and time. |
| Line spacing | Line spacing between each row of the report. |
| Include remote meter readings | Include meter readings that were read remotely from a SCADA system. |
| Format for meter reading import process | Format the report so that the completed readings file can be automatically imported in the <u><span style="color: #ff5630">Meter Reading Entry Module</span></u>. See <u><span style="color: #ff5630">Importing Meter Readings</span></u> for more details.<br>This option is only available for reports in CSV (comma separated values) format. If the option is disabled, check that the **Generate As** option is set to *CSV*. |

<u>[Meter Reading Variations Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1986921023)</u>

The Meter Reading Variations report generates a list of meter readings for an outlet and property where the actual reading differed from the estimated reading.

<u>[Meter Reading Status Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1987444959)</u>

The Meter Reading Status report provides the number of:

- Outlets in the report area
- Outlets with good meter readings (that is, readings that match the estimated usage)
- Outlets without meter readings
- Outlets with a reason provided for the reading. These are readings where a variation was accepted, or an adjustment was made for which a reason was entered.

The report also lists the details of all missing readings, or those with variations or adjustments.

<u>[Meter Usage Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1986953853)</u>

The Meter Usage report records the reading and usage for meters in the selected area as at the beginning and the end of the report period.

<u>[Outlet Location Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1987019343)</u>

The Outlet Location report lists the location of all outlets in the report area using the Australian Map Grid (AMG) coordinate system.

<u>[Suspect Data Report](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RptNC/pages/1986953918)</u>

The Suspect Database report allows you to find properties, orders, or meter readings with anomalous values that might require follow-up. You can choose what to include in the report and set thresholds for identifying discrepancies.
