Provisioning
The Provisioning report shows the linkage between service locations, usage points and meters, and the metrology requirement at each usage point.
This report is a useful input to the tenant billing process because it links the customers' addresses (service location) to usage point NMIs and meter serial numbers.
To run the report, choose the Usage point Group then click Run.
