Hi Olivia,

But device info record is needed in case where consumers have device which belongs to a device category .

In this case no device is present (For example-Streetlights), and we have to keep a track of their consumption.

so what should be done in such cases.

A usual practice is to store the consumption on installation facts for such customers without device and associate rate types to that operand for billing.

steps

1- create an operand in billing ... of QUANT type (if you plan to store consumption in ti) and place the tick on rate type while creating this operand

2- add this operand in the installation facts of the consumer's installation object who is to be billed without having a device

3- specify the rate type and fact group as the need be

you are good to go

let me know this helps

Thanks
