How to deactivate periodic meter reads for inactive installations

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We've requirement where in for Move-out/Disconnected installations, we need to send the periodic control reads while for others periodic 'Billable' reads. Now the problem is as per the scheduling(MRU) I can schedule all the periodic reads of same kind, i.e. either Billable or Control, so can't use the standard transactions (EL06) to generate MRO for Control reads, but when I'm generating the new MRO for control reads it would get suppressed due to priority config.

will you please help how can deactivate periodic MROs for inactive installations, at the same time I can generate the control reads for the same?

Thanks,

Sagar

in the installation there is a field "Blocking reason". Configure a value & populate the field. This will prevent the creation of periodic orders.

You can still create control readings, there will be a warning which can be ignored.

config is located:

Device Management --> Meter reading --> Meter Reading Order --> Order Creation --> define MR blocking reasons.

The help there pretty much covers it.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the response, but won't it block all the MROs? I just want to block periodic MROs & instead need to generate control MRO (Reason 09) on periodic basis to do the inspection for theft.
