Counter reading fields
Field | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Code | Enter a code for the counter reading. | ||
Comment | If relevant, enter a comment on the counter reading. | ||
Consumption | This read-only field displays the asset’s consumption since the last reading. The calculation is based on the Reading value field and the Reading date-time field of the current reading and the previous reading. | ||
Description | Enter a relevant description of the counter reading. | ||
Emission | Displays the amount of CO2 emitted. This value is based on the impact area that was defined while adding a counter. This value is only calculated if you have set the option Calculate CO2 to Yes in Field definer > Business object settings > Meter readings. | ||
Gigajoule | Displays the calculated energy usage in gigajoule. This value is only calculated if: • You have set the option Calculate gigajoules to Yes in Field definer > Business object settings > Meter readings. Note that this option is set to No by default. • The meter is linked to an impact area. • Output conversion data is registered. • The conversion to energy is specified (KJ per unit field on the output conversion table). | ||
Image | To validate the meter reading and confirm their physical presence at the location, engineers can attach an image of the actual meter with the reading. | ||
kWh | Displays the calculated energy usage in kWh (kilowatt-hour). This value is only calculated if: • You have set the option Calculate kWh to Yes in Field definer[Field] > Business object settings > Meter readings. Note that this option is set to No by default. • The meter is linked to an impact area. • Output conversion data is registered. • The conversion to energy is specified (KJ per unit field on the output conversion table). | ||
Meter | Select a relevant counter from the dialog box available in this field, to link the reading to. | ||
Order | Displays the order linked to the counter reading. This field is useful for readings made in Planon Mobile Field Services (PMFS). When a PMFS order with an associated meter reading is sent to the back-office, the reading is entered and the order reference automatically populated. | ||
Reading date-time (property) | Select the date-time of the counter reading, from the timezone perspective of the property where the reading was taken. If you populate this property date-time field, the corresponding Reading date-time (user) field is calculated accordingly.
| ||
Reading date-time (user) | Select the date-time when the gauge reading was entered, from the timezone perspective of the user by whom the reading was taken. If you populate this user date-time field, the corresponding Reading date-time (property) field is calculated accordingly. | ||
Reading value | Enter the counter reading. | ||
Standing costs | Displays the fixed amount to be paid. This value is based on the cost profile that was selected while adding a counter and the time period with respect to previous reading. | ||
Unit based costs | Displays the variable cost to be paid. This value is based on the cost profile and the consumption. This value is only calculated if you have set the option Calculate unit cost to Yes in Field definer > Business object settings > Meter readings. | ||
User-defined status | If relevant, select a user-defined status from the dialog box available in this field. |
