Meter Data Service Teams

Teams preparing meter-data work for utility organizations need a clear boundary between source preparation and acceptance authority. Smart Meter Data Platform links the case and interval to an organization and retains the staff identity used for the action. Utility Coordinator works within assigned scope, while Authorized Utility Supervisor independently reviews eligible revisions through guarded workflows.

How Smart Meter Data Platform is set up for you

Organization identity

Preserve organization and service-area codes when importing operational context. Resolve the coordinator's platform user to the intended staff member before selecting assigned cases. Administrative membership does not confer business approval authority.

Evidence delivery

Agree source references, quality flags and measurement units with the organization supplying the data. Retain the original designation in submitted and accepted work. Give supporting files useful titles so the reviewer can locate the actual observation.

Corrective history

Preserve accepted readings and decisions when later evidence requires a change. Reviewed compensation explains the correction alongside the earlier result. Read-first reconciliation checks unresolved receipts against local effects without repeating external execution.

Teams preparing meter-data work for utility organizations need a clear boundary between source preparation and acceptance authority. Smart Meter Data Platform links the case and interval to an organization and retains the staff identity used for the action. Utility Coordinator works within assigned scope, while Authorized Utility Supervisor independently reviews eligible revisions through guarded workflows.

Begin with an illustrative organization, service area and interval whose source evidence can be traced. Confirm the coordinator's assignment and the independent supervisor's authorized scope. Rehearse the evidence handoff and acceptance action, then ask Auditor to follow the source revision and receipt using read-only access.

Test a similarly named area in another organization and an approval belonging to a different reading under the same case. Those similarities must not grant access or acceptance authority. Introduce a later correction to accepted scope and preserve the original quality and decision history. Configure source and downstream connections with the responsible organization, then follow [correction and reconciliation](/smart-meter-data-platform/processes/correction-and-reconciliation) to agree how uncertain results are investigated.
