Introduction

This report identifies:

  • Accounts linked to multiple supply points overlapping the same period
  • Accounts not linked to a Supply Point 

This issue has the potential to result in bill consumption or charges for the Account (during the time period that overlaps) being potentially double counted.  Or under reporting if the Account is not linked to a Supply Pont.

Water Accounts linked to Supplies via Supply (Water) commodity Service Types are not included as this can be a valid configuration.

Resolution: Investigate the Accounts Supply Point assignment and ensure that, if correct, there are no reports in use that will result in the double counting of the Accounts consumption, or configure the Supply Point to be excluded from Best Available Consumption View Reports.
