Entering meter readings in a batch

Enter meter readings or meter differences on the Batch Meter Readings form.

Note: In some cases, the default UOM is a parent meter attached to one or more Child ("Receiving") meters of the same UOM. In such cases, the new meter reading must roll down the hierarchy.

See Creating equipment hierarchies.
