Purpose
• | The Universal Gateway (UGW) is a centralized web based application hosted by Canon to integrate and operate with Canon machines (copiers) in field (MIF). |
• | A functional component of the UGW is its ability to capture the count of meters in MIF and export to particular formats for use within third party billing applications. |
• | As a part of this initiative ICE has been provided with the capability to import UGW meters read exports to the Billing components.

|
Advanced User Information
• | An exception is created if the imported meter read is 30 days different from current system date
(same as when you enter a read manually) |
• | Option available to save a meter read that is the same as the previous read. |
• | Option to mark an invoice, as printed on invoice tab, has been re-implemented. |
• | Identical Serials & Closed Status |
• | Previously when importing reads a "Multiple equipment match the serial no: xxx" message may have been generated if the same serial number was used on multiple equipment, even though only one was active.
e.g. If a machine was refurbished and put in the system twice with the same serial number and the old machine set to ^closed^ in the equipment masterfile, it may have still errored on the closed machine during the UGW import. This has been fixed with the UGW import ignoring all machines that have a status of closed. |
