Code

Enter a code for the gauge reading.

Comment

If relevant, enter a comment on the gauge 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 gauge reading.

Emission

The CO2-emission that applies to this reading is calculated and populated by Planon (in Kg CO2e). This value is only calculated if you have set the option Calculate CO2 to Yes in Field definer > Business object settings > Meter readings.

Gauge

Displays the code of linked gauge.

Gigajoule

Displays the calculated energy usage in gigajoule. This value is only calculated if:

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:

Meter

Select a relevant gauge from the dialog box available in this field, to link the gauge reading to.

Order

Displays the order linked to the gauge 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.

Order for max. threshold value

This read-only field displays the name of the order that is created in Work Orders after the gauge’s maximum threshold is exceeded. This auto-generated order name consists of the order description and the gauge’s code, description, minimum threshold value and reading value.

Order for min. threshold value

This read-only field displays the name of the order that is created in Work Orders after the gauge’s minimum threshold is exceeded. This auto-generated order name consists of the order description and the gauge’s code, description, minimum threshold value and reading value.

Per day

Enter the date on which the reading result was observed.

Reading date-time (property)

Select the date-time when the gauge reading was entered, 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 details

Select relevant reading details that apply to the gauge reading. Note: you can add reading details - in the shape of a log message - to a gauge reading value at the Reading details selection level.

Reading value

Enter the gauge reading. If this value exceeds the maximum or minimum threshold, an order is automatically created in Work Orders .

Recyclable

Meters measure physical quantities or service usage, such as water, temperature, waste etc. On the gauge definition, you can specify if the item measured by a meter is recyclable (Yes/No). If you specify this field on the gauge/counter definition, the Recyclable field on the linked gauges/counters and gauge/counter readings will automatically have the same value.

Standing costs

The standing costs that apply to this reading are calculated and entered by the system.

Unit based costs

The unit-based costs per reading are calculated and entered by the system. This value is only calculated if you have set the option Calculate unit cost to Yes in Field definer > Business object settings > Meter readings. This calculation is based on the difference between the previous and the current reading. Note: a negative figure here means you have generated income from the impact area concerned. Example: if you receive remuneration for waste recycling.

Unit of measurement

Displays the unit of measurement that applies to the gauge reading. If you specified a unit of measurement on the gauge, the linked gauge readings will automatically have the same unit of measurement.

Within range (Y/N)

This read-only field displays No if the gauge reading exceeds one of the set threshold values, or Yes if it is within the threshold range.
