    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    • Preconfigured metric definitions with corresponding entity mappings are provided to simplify the initial setup for Now Assist for Operational Sustainability Management. The four preconfigured metric definitions are water, waste, electricity, and natural gas consumption.
    • If the preconfigured metric definitions don’t meet your requirements, you can create a new or use an existing metric definition. Then update the Metric Definition table and create or update mapping records to link the new definition to the appropriate record identifiers. When using custom metric definitions, confirm that all relevant mapping records are updated to reference the new definitions for accurate data association.
    • The metric definition must be activated before using the Document Intelligence for Utility Invoices skill.

    Once the metric definitions and entity mappings have been configured, you can begin extracting information from utility invoices. The system then uses the configured mappings to determine where the extracted data should be stored. The extracted utility type (for example, electricity) is matched to the correct metric definition based on the metric definition mapping, and the billing address or service address is used to identify the relevant organizational entity via the entity mapping. This process verifies that the extracted consumption or bill amount is accurately assigned to the right metric and entity, streamlining data collection and eliminating manual data entry.
