No usage at active report

This report is designed for use by residential mass market meter implementations. The report identifies any active premises where the readings have not changed during a specified time period. This could be an indication of a defective meter or theft.

To run the No Usage at Active report:

Go to Meter Data Management > Tools > Reports > Analytical > No Usage at Active.
Configure the following parameters

Time Span. Defines the Time Span.
- Select the Time Period from the dropdown menu and select the appropriate date and time criteria.
- (Optional) Click the Reading Groups button to view and select dates available for a particular meter reading group.
  A reading group identifies a group of physical readings that IEE imported, collected, or edited at the same time and processed as a set. In IEE versions 7.0 SP2 and later, a reading group can also identify a group of readings that were exported at the same time. Reading group selection allows you to select time periods that correspond to existing data chunks without having to enter them manually.
  
  You will see the Reading Groups button in many sections of IEE, including interactive graphing, reports, and exports.
  
  To select reading groups
  A reading group identifies a group of readings that are imported, collected, edited, or exported at the same time and processed as a set. Reading groups can include interval readings, register readings, or both.
  
  You can select reading groups based on import (for pre-billing data) and export (for post-billing data). When you have selected a reading group and click OK, the reading group values populate the screen you are working in.
  
  Other types of reading groups, such as archive reading groups, may exist in IEE, but they are not available in this dialog.
  
  To select reading groups:
  1. In the window or dialog you are working in, click the Reading Groups button or link.
  2. Enter a Service Point ID or click Search to search for a service point.
  3. Enter a service point Channel Number.
  4. Optional: From the Show dropdown menu, select a filter:
    
    All. Determines whether to show all reading groups.
    
    Import. Determines whether to show only import reading groups. Import reading groups are created when data is imported into IEE, created by the estimation process, or created through the editing process.
    
    Export. Determines whether to show only export reading groups. Export reading groups are created by IEE export tasks, including the AMI Billing Export.
  5. Click Find Groups. All groups that contain this service point and match the Show filter appear in a table:
    
    Received/Exported. Defines the date and time IEE received the data for imports or exported the data for exports. If you have not filtered the list to show only imports or exports, refer to the Creation Method column. An asterisk indicates that the external system that received the exported data has confirmed that it has received and used the data. Show Version Confirmation Controls must be enabled in System Administration > System Settings > System Behavior Settings for this asterisk to appear.
    
    Creation Method. Describes the method that created the reading group, such as manual validation or an XML import or export.
    
    Start Date. Defines the date and time of the earliest read in the group.
    
    End Date. Defines the date and time of the latest read in the group.
    
    Calculated. Describes the date and time the billing determinants were calculated. Applies to export groups only.
    
    Significance. Describes the reason the readings were exported, such as Billing or Load Research. Applies to export groups only.
  6. Click a row to select it, and then select the data version to use:
    
    Current Version. Defines the current reading values in the database.
    
    Received/Exported. Defines the reading values at the time IEE imported or exported it.
    
    Calculated Data. Defines the reading values at the time IEE calculated the billing determinants.
  7. Click OK.
- (Optional) Click the Schedule Dates button to select a time of use schedule.
  The Schedule Dates button allows you to select a time period corresponding to a specific entity. This option is generally used for running a report task that matches the date and time range of a particular data export (usually for billing purposes). When you click the Schedule Dates button, the Schedule Dates dialog appears.
  
  To configure the schedule parameters
  1. Use the Schedule dropdown menu to select a schedule.
  2. Select the Task Template to apply.
  3. Select the Entity Type.
    
    You can use the Search Utility to locate the entity type ID.
  4. The start date and end date selected on the main screen are then populated in this dialog.
Time Zone

Defines the time zone to use in the export file, report, or other task. If you omit this parameter, IEE uses the time zone of each service point.
