Second reading; good data
Reading of 20,200 dated 03/07/2008
Days since the previous (first) reading = 2 (03/07/2008 – 01/07/2008)
Distance since the previous (first) reading = 200 Kms (20,200 – 20,000)
Assumed Daily Rate = 200 / 2 = 100
Cumulative Meter = 220,000 + 200 = 220,200
Road User Charge Balance = 30,000 – 200 = 29800
Third reading; good data
Reading of 20,400 dated 04/07/2008
Days since the previous reading = 1 (04/07/2008 – 03/07/2008)
Distance since the previous reading = 200 Kms (20,400 – 20,200)
Assumed Daily Rate = Distance since the first reading / days since the first reading
= 400 / 3 = 133.33
Cumulative Meter = 220,200 + 200 = 220,400
Road User Charge Balance = 30,000 – 400 = 29600
Fourth reading; : incorrectly recorded data
Reading of 10,000 40 dated 23/05/07/20082012
Reading is less than the previous reading, so is deemed to be wrong. Options allow for clocked meter, changed meter, or wrong data.
Assuming wrong data in this instance choose the 'Exclude This Reading' option
Assumed Daily Rate = is left blank for this reading, and remains at 133.33 on the Plant Item
Cumulative Meter is unchanged
Road User Charge Balance is unchanged
The 'Exclude Reading' checkbox is ticked at the bottom of the screen indicating this reading will be excluded from calculations
Fifth Sixth reading; : meter has 'clocked'
The Clock Value on this meter is 20,999
Reading of 100 dated 09/07/2008
The Clock Max Reading (20,999) is recorded on the reading at the bottom of the screen indicating the meter has clocked
Assumed Daily Rate = Distance since the first reading / days since the first reading
= 1,099 / 8 = 137.38
Increase in Cumulative Meter value since the previous (fifth) record
= Clock Max Value + This Meter Reading - previous (fifth) meter reading
= 20,999 + 100 – 20,700
= 399
*Sixth Seventh reading: meter 'changeout'
Reading of 50 dated 09/07/2008
The meter has been changed
There is no reasonable basis to know what distance / time the Plant Item has traveled since the previous reading.
