ACCOUNT ID Note:
•
The Account ID is associated with the physical location of the meter and does not change when the meter,
endpoint or tenant changes If the billing account number does not fit this criterion, a location identifier—if one
exists—may be used
•
The combination of the Account ID and Service # (under the Registration tab) forms a unique identifier for each
meter reading If the last digits of the Account ID hold a tenant number, ReadCenter Analytics will be configured to
store it separately in one of the fields (such as the Description field) If ReadCenter Analytics does not find a record
with the combined Account ID and Service # specified in the input file from the billing system, it creates a new
record
