On Data Consistency

Summary

Common to all provider types: most of the billing, payment, and address fields will be common to all providers, as they are basic billing elements.

Common to some provider types: fields related to utility usage and meter readings will apply to electricity, gas, and water but not to waste.

Exclusive to electricity: advanced fields like demand meter readings, power factor, and kVar are exclusive to electricity providers.
