Line Item Maintenance
Use Line Item Maintenance to maintain information about the items that make up a line map of your infrastructure. Line maps allow you to link between billing devices within your utility. You can maintain the type of item, the GPS coordinates for the item and link it to other line items that make up your infrastructure map. In addition, Line Item Maintenance includes user definable fields, which are free-form fields that you can define for your specific purposes and needs. The user defined fields are informational only and can be used for reporting purposes.
Tips:
Because certain line item fields are user-defined, the field labels in the software may not match the documentation. You can change the field names by updating Line Item Labels Table Maintenance.
For more information, see Line Mapping View.
