Adding meter readings

Use the Locations application to specify meter readings for a location. A historical reading has a New Reading Date that is prior to the last reading date.

Before you begin

You must have the appropriate security authorization to specify meter readings.

Procedure

  1. On the Meters tab of the Locations application, display the location for which you want to specify meter readings.
  2. Select the Enter Meter Readings action.
  3. In the New Reading field for that meter, specify a value. The Average Units/Day field value is calculated and displays.
  4. Optional: If you specify a delta reading, select the Delta check box. If the location of the meter was set up as a delta reading type, the check box is selected by default.
  5. Optional: If you specify an actual reading that is a rollover reading (the new reading value is less than the Last Reading value due to a rollover), select the Rollover check box.
  6. Click View Details.
  7. In the New Reading Date field, edit the date and time.
  8. In the Remarks field, type a comment about the reading.
  9. Click OK and click Save Location. If the location is associated with a preventive maintenance, the meter reading fields on the preventive maintenance record are updated.
