Q

Question about relationship of initial and final measurements? or how to calculate usage?

A
  • Initial measurements are normalized into final measurements where each final measurement is for a specific date and time
  • Initial measurements (IMDs) contain original and final versions, final measurements are created using Post VEE quantities
  • A final measurement’s condition is copied from the post VEE condition
  • Only initial measurements can be edited directly by end users, if final measurements are wrong, a new IMD is created to correct them.
  • Initial Measurements (IMD) must be created and completed to add or update measurements as there is no UI that allows users to directly edit final measurements
  • Only one final measurement can exist for a given date/time for a given measuring component; one final measurement exists per interval, and likewise one final measurement exists for each scalar reading. In both cases, the final measurement value stored represents the amount consumed between its date/time and the prior final measurement’s date/time
