BCHG_​UP_​ID

30

Y

Char

This is the foreign key to the billable charge upload staging record.

SP_​ID

10

Y

Char

Note, if USAGE_​FLG is calculation, you can set this field to 0 if you do not know the SP ID. The only thing that's important is that the combination of BCHG_​UP_​ID, SP_​ID and SEQNO are unique.

SEQNO

5

Y

Number

This should be a value greater than zero. See SP_​ID comment for more information. This is typically the sequence number of the register on the meter.

END_​READ_​DTTM

26

Y

DateTime

This is the date and time of the end read

END_​REG_​READ_​ID

12

N

Char

This field must reference an existing register read ID if USAGE_​FLG is anything other than a calculation.

END_​REG_​READING

9.6

Y

Number

This is the reading of the end read.

FINAL_​REG_​QTY

12.6

Y

Number

This is the final amount of the reading (this is the amount of billable consumption the read detail contributed to the entire billed consumption).

FINAL_​SQI

8

N

Char

The service quantity identifier of the FINAL_​REG_​QTY. If specified, it must reference a valid value on CI_​SQI. Note, at least one of the following fields should be specified: FINAL_​SQI, FINAL_​UOM_​CD.

FINAL_​TOU_​CD

8

N

Char

The time-of-use code of the FINAL_​REG_​QTY. If specified, it must reference a valid value on CI_​TOU.

FINAL_​UOM_​CD

4

N

Char

The unit of measure of the FINAL_​REG_​QTY. If specified, it must reference a valid value on CI_​UOM. Note, at least one of the following fields should be specified: FINAL_​SQI, FINAL_​UOM_​CD.

HOW_​TO_​USE_​FLG

Varchar

The service quantity identifier of END_​REG_​READING and START_​REG_​READING. If specified, it must reference a valid value on CI_​SQI. Note, at least one of the following fields should be specified: SQI_​CD, TOU_​CD, UOM_​CD.

START_​READ_​DTTM

26

Y

DateTime

This is the date and time of the start reading.

START_​REG_​READ_​ID

12

Y

9.6

Y

Number

This is the reading of the start read.

TOU_​CD

30

N

Char

The time-of-use code of END_​REG_​READING and START_​REG_​READING. If specified, it must reference a valid value on CI_​TOU.
