Understanding Meter Readings Entry

The Meter Readings program (P12120) enables you to view current readings, enter new readings, and view the net increase.

You can enter and update meter readings for individual pieces of equipment or for multiple pieces of similar equipment. You can enter and update meter readings for individual pieces of equipment when you need to record equipment use on a piece-by-piece basis. You can enter and update meter readings for multiple pieces of equipment if you are:

• Updating meter readings for all equipment with the same use, such as multiple pieces of production equipment that work the same number of hours on a given day.

• Entering current meter readings for multiple pieces of identical new equipment.

You use selection criteria to specify the pieces of equipment for which the system updates meter information. In addition, you can update equipment records to indicate that a meter was replaced due to damage, which is a meter change-out. You can also indicate when a meter rolls over. A meter rollover is the point at which a meter reaches its maximum value and reverts to a zero reading.
