Meter - Location History

The meter location history page has two purposes:

• You can view the history of the service points and stock locations at which a meter has been located.
• You can change a meter's current stock location if it is not installed at a service point.

It's important to be aware that location history is only recorded when the meter's meter type indicates that its location is tracked. Refer to The Big Picture of Asset Inventory for further information.

Use Menu > Meter > Meter > Search and navigate to the Location History page.

Description of Page

The rows in the grid show where the meter has been located over its lifetime. The following types of rows may be displayed:

• When a meter is installed at a service point, a stock location history record is created with a Location History Type of SP Install.
  • Location Date/Time is the time of installation. This may not be modified.
  • Location is the service point at which the meter is installed. This may not be modified.
• When a meter is removed from a service point, a stock location history record is created with a Location History Type of SP Removal.
  • Location Date/Time is the time of removal. This may not be modified.
  • Location is a stock location. This value is defaulted based on the service point's postal defaults. You may change this Location if the defaulted value is incorrect.
• When a new meter is added, you must create a location history record to define the stock location at which the meter is stored.
  • Enter the Date/ Time the meter was received.
  • The Location History Type is defaulted to Stock.
  • Use Location to define the stock location where the item is being stored.
• If a meter is transferred from one stock location to another, you must create a location history record as described above.
