Update the meters of related equipment when the meters of the master equipment are modified

If this configuration is activated, when updating the meters of a piece of equipment, it will be checked whether any related equipment is attached to it. The system will determine the increase for each meter (1 and 2) of the master equipment by calculating the difference with the previous meter. This increase will then be applied to each piece of equipment related to the master equipment, for which the same types of meters are present.

This configuration impacts the following options:

Work Order

Daily Entry

Enter Hours

Time Sheets

Usage Meter Management

Fuel Management

NOTE: There will be no cascading of updates in situations where a related piece of equipment is itself a master equipment of other related pieces of equipment. The update will be limited to the related equipment indicated directly in the master equipment file for which the meters have been entered.
