The "Meter readings" data object records and manages detailed information on consumption measurements for various media such as water, electricity, heat and gas. It contains data on locations, hierarchical structures and associated cost centers, which enables precise allocation and analysis of consumption values. This information forms the basis for central business processes such as consumption recording, billing and energy efficiency analyses, while the link to rental contracts and price data supports precise cost allocation and calculation.
