SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING MULTIPLE OPERATING TERRITORIES WITHIN A METER READING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention enables multiple operating territories to be defined, named, and managed within a meter reading system. Each operating territory may correspond to a geographic sub-section of the meter reading system that is regulated by a particular regulatory agency. Each operating territory may be assigned a set of time of use (TOU) schedules required by its corresponding regulatory agency. The set of TOU schedules assigned to each operating territory may be stored in a database.
