How do you use the validation attribute in the allocation config and formula meters?
The JOYNOG Allocations module allows you to configure the readings so that only designated (validated) readings are used for allocations.
A few use cases are:
Well Test (Marked valid and invalid for allocations)
Well Test (Scada or non-scada, non-scada are used for certain formula meter readings)
Set up validations for readings
To pre-qualify a reading to be valid or invalid when used for allocations:
Set up readings so that they have a picklist attribute which captures the valid/invalid state for a readings:
Field users often use an ”isvalid” attribute in “Well Tests”, where
a valid wells test has isvalid = (“Yes”, “True”, “Valid”, NULL)
invalid welltest has isvalid = ( “False”, “No”)
Configure the reading appropriately in the allocation config and formula meter to enable validations on the reading.

If the validation attribute is NULL in the transaction, then the validation logic is bypassed and the reading is assumed to be valid for use in allocations or formula meter calculations.
