Set to Prior

Some meter readings may not have been captured due to the client being unavailable or due to a machine not being in use.

This process gives you the ability to set the Current Reading equal to the Start Reading for all meters that have not been captured.

This means that usage for these items will be 0, and no cost per copy charges will be billed. Minimum Billing will be billed as usual.
