Procedure

  1. Next to the Asset field, click the Detail Menu > Meter Reading.
    The Enter Meter Readings dialog box is displayed.
    • All meters associated with the asset are listed on the Asset Meter Readings tab.
    • All meters associated with the location of the asset are listed on the Location Meter Readings tab.
  2. To enter a reading for a meter, enter a value in the New Reading field for that meter, or click Select Value icon to select a reading.

    The system enters the system date and time in the New Reading Date field and the user name of the logged-in user in the Inspector field. You can change the value in either of these fields.

  3. If you are entering a delta reading, enable the Delta toggle. Click the View Details icon next to the meter record and select the Delta toggle.

    If the meter was set up as a delta reading type, the check box is selected by default. If you are entering an actual reading that is a rollover reading, select the Rollover?check box. In a rollover reading, the value for the new reading is less than the value of the previous reading (shown in the Last Reading field) due to a rollover.

  4. Enter any comments about the reading in the Remarks field.
  5. Click OK to enter the reading and return to the record.
