Plant Meters - First Meter Reading
Reading dated 01/07/2008
When a meter is first set up on a vehicle, there will be an initial meter reading to be entered. The total distance traveled or time run by the plant at the time of that reading also needs to be manually entered into the Meter Cumulative Life to Date on the Plant Meters screen
- e.g. Plant Item TR02 has been purchased. The current meter reading is 20,000 Kms but you know it has traveled 220,000 Kms. The Meter Cumulative Life to Date value would be manually entered as 220,000 and the opening meter reading would be entered as 20,000.
The Assumed Daily Rate on the meter entry is always 0.00 for the first entry, as there is no history upon which to base this calculation. The Assumed Daily Rate will be automatically calculated and updated by subsequent entries
The Cumulative Meter value will display the Meter Cumulative Life to Date value from the Plant Meters screen for this meter
Road User Charge Balance remaining for this meter will display (see separate section on Road User Charges)
