The Equipment Readings module records meter readings and tracks historical readings from an hour meter or some other meter.
Users create a new record to log the current reading each time they read the meter. Each new record displays past meter readings and calculates the difference in usage.
Equipment Readings can be used:
to schedule preventative maintenance work orders (PMs),
to verify the warranty status of the equipment,
to set depreciation schedules, and
to determine whether the equipment should be replaced.
