Understanding Read Type and Read Type Validation Rule in Meter Readings (IFS FSM)

Hello everyone,

I would like to better understand how Read Type and Read Type Validation work in IFS FSM, specifically in the context of the Meter Readings table.

However, I still have some questions:

1. What is the exact role of Read Type within the Meter Readings table?
2. How does Read Type Validation work when validating these readings?
3. What kind of rules are typically applied?
4. Are these validations configurable? If so, where are they defined?
5. Are there any best practices for using these concepts in meter reading scenarios?

If anyone can share practical examples or official documentation, it would be greatly appreciated.
