In order to make sure the right data is in the system for your monthly validation run, there are several checks you can monitor before the billing period to allow you time to work on improving your data health.
During this time, you can contact suppliers on missing data, amend standing site data details or even update rates. The proactive approach helps in ensuring action is taken to remedy missing data in time.
Pre- bill Check report
The Prebill Check report is particularly useful as it provides details on the meters and sites affected. You can view and download MPAN/MPRN details along with the number of days missing for each. This is available for both meter and reactive meter data. You can also view missing tariffs listed, missing or set to 0 rates, TLFs & LLFs as well as triads.
You can access the prebill check report by navigating to Reports >> Create Reports >> Validation >> Prebill Check report (Power/Gas) and choose date filters.
Data Quality
You can access the Data quality widgets by navigating to Home Overview and viewing your landing page. Here you will see the quality of your standing data so you know where to focus your time.
You can also download the Data Quality report by navigating to Reports >> Generate Report >> Data Audit >> Data Quality report. This is an exception report that flags the missing data per group and shows you the various percentages of completeness.
