  Key Concepts: 
  Meter reading is a process in SAP IS-U Device Management (DM) that involves collecting data from energy meters. This data is used to calculate energy consumption and billing information for customers. Meter readings are typically collected manually by a technician or remotely via an automated system.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP IS-U DM, meter readings can be collected manually or automatically. Manual meter readings are entered into the system by a technician who visits the customer’s premises and reads the meter. Automated meter readings are collected remotely via an automated system, such as a smart meter. The data is then stored in the system and used to calculate energy consumption and billing information for customers.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When collecting manual meter readings, it is important to ensure that the readings are accurate and up-to-date. It is also important to ensure that the data is entered into the system correctly, as incorrect data can lead to inaccurate billing information.
