Projected meter overrides occur because the application considers a unit to be due for service, based on recent meter updates within the given time frame.

The following calculation is used to determine whether a unit might be due because of meter updates:

• (Current meter - meter at last service)/number of days from last service to date of last meter update = average number of miles traveled per day.

• (Number of days from the last service to the date used [on the Equipment Due for Service/Inspection - by Equipment or - by Location screen]) * (number calculated in step 1) =  number of miles at which the next service is due.

Example:

Current meter = 3000     date:  05/01/2003

Last PM meter = 1000    date:  04/01/2003

Date used on the Equipment Due for Service/Inspection screen:   05/31/2003

PM cycle = every 6 months or 4,000 miles

Calculation:

(3000 - 1000) / 30 =  66.6

Number of days from the date of the last PM to the date on the Equipment Due for Service/Inspection screen: 61

61 * 66.6 =  4,062

4,062: miles at which the next service is due
