Error description
Environment: TPAE 7609 Reproduction Steps: 1. Go to Assets --> Create a new Asset (MetAsset4) - save 2. Go to the Meters tab and add a meter of type CONTINUOUS - RUNHOURS - Unit of Measure - Hours - Active - Checked - Average Calculation Method - All - Reading Type - Actual - Accept Rolldown from - Asset - DO NOT SAVE this record yet. 3. In the Meters tab itself, enter the following values in the order below: - Last Reading Date : 17th Oct 2017 - Last Reading : 842 - Last Reading Inspector - maxadmin ***The key to reproducing this is that you enter the Last Reading Date BEFORE you enter the Last Reading. Provide a Last Reading Date that is in the past. THEN enter the Last Reading and Last Reading Inspector. 4. Now save the new asset and the associated meter. 5. More actions --> Enter Meter Readings dialog - Meter - RUNHOURS - Last Reading - 1316 - Last Reading - 27th Dec 2017 Click ok. You will notice that the Average Unit/day has turned negative - -5.18 (THIS IS THE ISSUE) Hence, the PMR's assocated with Assets with negative Average Units/Day value creates numerous unnecessary work orders. CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT: - Entering meter reading on an unsaved meter causes an negative Average Units/Day value. EXPECTED RESULT: - Average Units/day should not be negative.
