Use the Manage Meter Reading History action
in the Locations application to view or to update historical meter
readings. When you update a meter reading, the delta (change) readings
for that meter that are more recent than the date on which you make
the update are applied. Readings taken at a location might roll down
to the assets in that location if those assets are set up to accept
them.
Before you begin
Depending on your security authorization, you might only have
the authority to view historical readings and not to update historical
readings. If you require an audit trail of original reading data before
an update, use the
Audit feature.
About this task
If a meter or a location has been added to the hierarchy
since the original meter reading, its readings are not updated since
it was not present at the time of the original reading. The update
stops as soon as the first actual reading is reached. The change is
also applied to locations that were attached to the original location
at the time the meter reading was taken (reading date) and that can
inherit values from the parent. When a reading is modified, the meter
reading, the modified date, the user, and a reason for the change
are recorded.
Procedure

application, open the location record for which you want to update
the meter history.
