This page facilitates the recording of an AMR/Water meter related event in the form of an advice. An advice may relate to an AMR/Water Meter install, replacement or removal with a replacement being a combination of a removal and then a subsequent install. On accessing this page, you will be presented with the parameters panel (see Figure 69). To return to the AMR management menu and dashboard, click “Cancel” at any time. To begin processing a Meter / AMR, enter the required details into the form. Upon modifying fields, new fields may become available to accommodate the necessary processing requirements. Once all the required details have been complete, select either “Save and New”, or “Save”. Clicking “Save” will save the information entered and return the user to the AMR management menu. Clicking “Save and New” will save the information entered and then reset the page in anticipation of the creation of a new advice. The following lists the initial parameters.
