Meter Updates
In many cases, your PM services will be tracked by meter interval, so it is important to keep the meter readings in Fleet Maintenance Pro updated and consistent with the actual current reading on the equipment.
There are several ways to enter meter updates, as outlined below.
1. Quick Actions
From the Quick Actions menu, go to the Other Actions header on the bottom and click Update Meter Readings.
2. Equipment List
Click the Update Meters button on the top right of the equipment list.
Options 1 and 2 will both present you with the Update Meter Readings window. You can utilize this window to update meter readings for multiple equipment at the same time. Use the search box on the top right to pull up the unit ID you wish to update.
Click into the boxes highlighted in blue to change the values. Press Save on the bottom when finished.
3. Edit Equipment Screen
Navigate to the Equipment Management screen and double click any unit of equipment to edit. The primary and/or secondary meter values will be available to edit if they have been configured as shown HERE. This method is most appropriate when you only need to update one asset.
4. Record Maintenance (Standard/Deluxe) or Issue and Close a Work Order (Shop)
From the Quick Actions menu, go to Create New | Record Maintenance / Work Order OR navigate to the Equipment Manager and click the Actions button, then click the Record Mtc / Issue WO button.
When you record a maintenance entry or CLOSE a work order, and the primary and/or secondary meter values are greater than the current meter in the equipment information, the asset's current meter will be updated accordingly.

5. Record an Inspection
From the Quick Actions menu, go to Daily Inspection OR navigate to the Equipment Manager, click the Actions button and click Inspection.
When you record an Inspection and the meter value (primary only) is greater than the current meter in the equipment information, the asset's current meter will be updated accordingly.
6. Record a Fuel Transaction
From the Quick Actions menu click Fuel Inspection OR navigate to the Equipment Manager and click Actions and then click Record Fuel.
When you record a fuel transaction and the "Fill Meter" for the transaction is greater than the current meter in the equipment information, the asset's current meter will be updated accordingly.
