Alert Functionality
-Duplicates?
If missing increase on multiple at Meter Group level, alert only shows name of Meter Group so could appear as duplicate entry. But in fact, it is both Meter Groups, there is just no name differentiation:
-Will notify for contracts that have a schedule in place but missing scheduled rate increases, as long as the contract does not expire before the next increase date.
-Contracts will continue to report on alert email until missing scheduled increase is added OR you can disable contract from reporting via Custom Property ZCJ261DisableNoEscalateAlert to Disable:
*Due to variations in how users have set the Custom Property, alert will also stop reporting if Custom Property set to Disabled or Yes*
Messages Explained
