View and Update Asset Meter Readings

Meter readings present important information for mobile workers while they're working on assets. The accelerator provides an option to configure the meter reading associated with an asset and an option to update the readings while they're working on an activity associated with the asset.

The accelerator creates these properties in Oracle Fusion Field Service to capture the values of a meter definition associated with an asset within Fusion:
  • Meter name with reading type [Absolute / Change]
  • Unique code of the meter template
  • Direction of the reading [Ascending / Descending]
  • Net reading and UOM
  • Reading date/time
  • New reading [to be entered by the mobile worker upon completion]
  • Comment [to be entered by the mobile worker upon completion]

The accelerator gets the values of these fields from the asset meter defined in Fusion and updates these properties as part of the activity start and activity update events. You can configure the Activity Details page and display the relevant properties for the Oracle Fusion Field Service users. The accelerator updates the latest meter reading values of the asset from Fusion to the activity property. The accelerator updates the new meter reading value provided by the Oracle Fusion Field Service user to Fusion meters as part of the activity update event.

Field Mapping : Asset Meter Reading to Activity Properties

Oracle Maintenance Field Description Field Service Field Field Type Description Mandatory
MeterCode Meter Code meter_code_<<counter>> string Meter Code M
MeterName, ReadingType meter_name_<<counter>> string Meter name with reading type M
NetValue, UnitOfMeasure meter_last_reading_<<counter>> string The last net reading from meter with UOM M
ReadingValue meter_new_reading_<<counter>> string Latest captured reading from Oracle Fusion Field Service M
Comments meter_comment_<<counter>> string Latest comment from Oracle Fusion Field Service by the mobile worker M
ReadingDirectionMeaning meter_direction_<<counter>> string The direction of the reading M
ReadingDate meter_last_reading_date_<<counter>> string Last reading date M
mwo_meter_count string Total number of meters synced to Oracle Fusion Field Service for the activity M
mwo_meter_info string All meter information concatenated with ~~ M
Note:
  • The accelerator supports a maximum of two asset meters. Based on the number configured for the field 'MNTAssetMaxNoOfMeters' in the OIC lookup table 'ORCL-BRT-MNT-OFS-CONFIG', the accelerator creates the meter reading properties. The maximum value that can be configured for the field "MNTAssetMaxNoOfMeters" is 2.
  • The accelerator gets meter templates defined with the "Record Meters at Work Order Completion" property as "Mandatory"/"Optional" in Oracle Maintenance.
  • The meter reading value will get updated with “Displayed Meter” value from Asset Meter to Oracle Fusion Field Service, since assets can sometimes replace meter readers or acquire assets that already have meters recorded.
