Meter lifecycle

A typical meter lifecycle begins when the new meter is created in the system. SAP sends a Meter Create request to IEE MDUS for this operation.

When the meter is installed at a location, SAP sends Register Create and Meter Location requests for this operation. As part of the same operation, SAP may also send the Manual Register Read Import request to enter the meter’s start read that was captured during the meter installation.

When a meter is uninstalled, SAP sends a Meter Location request without a Location tag. For a reversal, SAP may also send a Register Change request without a Register tag and the Cancel Manual Register Read request to cancel the meter's start read that may have been previously submitted.

For a meter swap operation, SAP performs an uninstall operation, followed by an installation.
