How do I insert a replacement meter?
To insert a replacement
meter, follow these steps:
- Go to Assets | Measurements | Meters;
- Select a meter;
- Click on the Operations button to access the meter readings list;
- Click on Create and then on Replace Meter;
- Fill in the replacement meter reading value. The new reading can be zero if the meter has been replaced by a new meter or, if it is a used meter, its current value (lower or higher than the current reading of the old meter, equal to or greater than zero).
The value of the meter that corresponds to a meter replacement:
- keeps the current cumulative reading of the meter;
- maintains the meter's current average;
- ensures the increment is zero. Replacing a meter does not mean taking a new reading, it just means resetting the current value;
- ensures the unit cost and the total cost is zero;
The replacement date
must be greater than the last reading.
