How to Reset A Unit's Reading Meter

If you have a unit that has a new meter this article will show you how to reset the current meter.

To reset the reading meter for a Unit go to Fleet > Unit Master > Select Unit



Go to the Readings tab and click the Reset Reading button.



In the pop-up screen:
  1. Choose the Reading Type and UOM
  2. Enter the Current Reading of the new meter
  3. Enter the Life to Date Reading
    1. You can put the same value as the current reading if you don't want to account for the previous readings from the old meter
    2. You can input the previous meters last reading if you'd like to keep track of the Life to Date Accumulation of the Unit overall
  4. Choose the As of Date to make this reset effective
Click OK to confirm the reset of the meter.



In this example we reset the Odometer to 0 KM with the life to date accumulation as 0 KM.

Now any Repair Orders created after the Recorded Date will take into account the new current reading after reseting the meter.
