Keeping meter readings accurate directly affects compliance of preventive maintenance schedules and cost reporting and analysis for assets.
A good practice is to ensure that the primary and alternate meters are updated via work orders any time an asset is brought in for service.
The meters can be updated at the time the work order is built, when the technician is in the work order to review what needs to be done, or at the end along with postings.
If using Paperless Shop, the system will prompt the technician for the meter update after transaction posting occurs.
