- 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 dated 05/07/2008
- 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
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
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.
- We therefore have:
- Assumed Daily Rate is left unchanged
- Cumulative Meter value is left unchanged
- Road User Charge Balance is left unchanged
- The Meter Change out box is ticked at the bottom of the screen
- The Cumulative Meter value can be manually changed by editing the Cumulative Lift to Date value on the Plant Item Meter record if there is a record of the distance / time over the changeout period.
