New: An electric utility is starting an Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) roll-out for their residential customers. The initial plan is to roll out devices from their manufacturer with potentially three different device models. The customer has not decided what head-end systems they will use to communicate with these devices. Based on the customer's initial roll-out strategy, the devices will have to be configured consistently to support existing tariffs for billing.
Which is a valid consideration to determine the setup of device type administrative data for this implementation?
A. billing usage rules
B. the model number
C. the device's date of manufacturer
D. valid head-end systems, valid device configuration types, and the electricity service type
What can cause a bill segment to have multiple bill calculation headers?
A. multiple Rate Version Calculation Group
B. multiple Scheduled Read Dates covered by the bill period
C. proration at Bill Factor level
D. multiple service agreements being covered by a bill segment
E. proration at Calculation Rules level
How many derived values can a final measurement have in addition to the primary measured value?
A. 2
B. 15
C. 10
D. 5
A usage subscription must exist before usage transactions can be calculated for a specific service point.
Where do you configure the usage recipient?
A. in the Usage Rule Type
B. in the Service Point Type
C. in the Device Type
D. in the Measuring Component Type
E. in the Usage Subscription Type
Which three statements are true about initial measurements, final measurements, and usage? (Choose three.)
A. Usage is a synonym for bill determinants.
B. The initial measurement data can be optionally stored in Raw format.
C. A service point can have more than one initial measurement for the same period, but only one final measurement.
D. Final measurements can be directly edited or updated by users or by automated processes as required.
E. Usage is loaded in the application to generate final measurements.
Usage transactions can contain date breaks. Which is used to supply date breaks?
A. the Deferred Monitor Calculation Algorithm
B. the Usage Subscription Type
C. the requesting system or user input
D. the Usage Subscription BO
