Inventory Control Menu -> Rental/Sale Transfers -> Asset Reclassification Utility Meter Reading
Utilities Menu -> Inventory Control -> Update Meter Prompt/Meter Reading -> Meter Reading
The meter information on a metered non-bulk Rental product can be viewed and updated as follows:
An operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the 'Update Meter Prompt/Meter Hours - Type & Digits' in the Document Field Access window of Security Role Permissions, in order to access the Meter Digits and to change this value.
If the new meter reading value is less than the previous current reading, when the input screen is completed the operator will be prompted to select a reason code in the Meter Reason Code Search window and to enter any rollover/replacement information in the New Meter Update window as outlined below.
The “Bill Current Meter” feature can be activated in the Company Billing Parameters to automatically bill up to the current Meter count in the Cycle Billing process.
For a new product, the LTD would reflect the difference between
the Initial reading and the Current reading.
For a product which has had multiple meters over a period of time,
the LTD is the sum of all meter units actually used.
A window is provided to view the transaction details in Meter History.
Correct LTD Meter Count:
Click the REDUCE
LTD button to correct the LTD meter reading on this product
in the Reduce LTD Meter window.
Note: Do not click the OK button until the meter update for the old and the new meter is complete, as the meter history record is written immediately.
New Meter:
The operator will be prompted for the
number of Meter Digits on the new meter, the new meter's
Initial Meter reading which is the starting point when the
meter was installed, and the Current Meter reading
Note: The 'Meter Digits' Security Role Permissions restriction does not apply when a New Meter is setup for a non-bulk product as the operator has to be able to define the maximum digits.
Finished?
Click OK when the correct information is completed to update the
product file, the Meter History, and LTD count.
Note: This information is not "undone" if the update is
triggered from document entry and the product is deleted from that
document.
If the information is not correct manual adjustments can be made
directly in the Rental Inventory.
