Enter Meter Readings

You use the Enter Meter Readings action to report meter readings for the selected location. Depending on your security authorization, you might be able to enter historical readings in the Enter Meter Readings dialog box. An historical reading has a New Reading Date that is prior to the last reading date.

To enter a meter reading:

  1. On the Meters tab, display the location for which you want to enter meter readings.

  2. From the Select Action menu, select Enter Meter Readings to open the Enter Meter Readings dialog box.

  3. In the Meters table window, all of the meters associated with the location are listed. To enter a reading for a meter, in the New Reading field for that meter, enter a value or click Select Value to select a reading. The system calculates the Avg. Units/Day field.

Note: If you are entering a delta reading, select the Delta? check box. If the location's 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 (the new reading value is less than the Last Reading value due to a rollover), select the Rollover? check box.

  1. To view the details for the meter, click View Details .

  2. You can edit the date and time in the New Reading Date field.

  3. You can enter a comment about the reading in the Remarks field.

  4. Click Save Location . If the location is associated with a PM, the system updates the meter reading fields on the PM record.
