Create Customer Service Connection Step 1 Window

Use the Create Customer Service Connection Step 1 Window to add a new or an existing service connection to the location.  A connection can be a meter, a trailer or a component, such as, a hydrant, street light or other non-metered billing element.  Connections are billed for the services provided to the location.  In general, connections are assigned their own Reference ID and are then attached to a location.

Important:  You can not remove an existing connection from one location and assign it to another if the connection has outstanding charges or balances.  Generally, you can add a new connection from Inventory or you can create a new connection by using the Inventory wizard.
