Area	Select an area for which to run the report.
None/Group/Section	Refine the area selection by specifying a particular group or section, or choose none to generate the report for the whole area.
Start regulator	Regulator or regulators to use for generating the report. The report lists outlets in downstream order from the specified regulators. Whether or not you need to specify the start regulator depends on how you have defined the report area.
Meter type	Filter the list of meters displayed (these options may vary depending on your system configuration): Non-shared - do not include shared meters All - include all meter types Other types - selected from a drop-down list
Exclude PPMs	Exclude pipe permitted meters from the report.
Report on	A set of options to restrict the outlets that are printed in the report: General - include all outlets. Delivery since last meter reading - include only outlets that have had a delivery since the last meter reading. You are prompted to enter an Effective Date. Enter a date before the current day to exclude outlets with orders starting today, but with no earlier orders. No delivery since start of season - include only outlets that have not had a delivery since the start of the season. This option may be useful if you need to check for unauthorised usages at an outlet. Outlet ordered usage > allocation - include only outlets where the water ordered exceeds the allocation for the property. Within % of exceeding allocation - include only outlets where the usage is currently within a specified percentage of the available allocation. You are prompted to specify a percentage. Not read since date - include outlets that have not had a meter reading since a specified date. You are prompted to specify a date and time.
Line spacing	Line spacing between each row of the report.
Include remote meter readings	Include meter readings that were read remotely from a SCADA system.
Format for meter reading import process	Format the report so that the completed readings file can be automatically imported in the Meter Reading Entry Module.

Meter Reading Status Report

The Meter Reading Status report provides the number of:

Outlets in the report area
Outlets with good meter readings (that is, readings that match the estimated usage)
Outlets without meter readings
Outlets with a reason provided for the reading. These are readings where a variation was accepted, or an adjustment was made for which a reason was entered.

The report also lists the details of all missing readings, or those with variations or adjustments.

Meter Usage Report

The Meter Usage report records the reading and usage for meters in the selected area as at the beginning and the end of the report period.
