Meters

1. Create a meter#

1. Open the form

   Go to Settings → Operations setup → Finance → Meters and press (+).

2. Fill in the fields

   Campo	Obligatorio	Descripción
   Name	Sí	Maximum 255 characters. Use the identifier physically written on the device.
   Type	Sí	Electricity or water. Determines which service it can feed.
   Building	Sí
   Room	Sí	The meter must belong to a room.
   Opening index	No	The reading at the moment you start using Leasemble for this meter.
   Description	No	Where the meter is physically located, for whoever reads it.

Get the opening index right. Too low and the first invoice bills the tenant for consumption from before they arrived.

2. Replace a meter#

1. Close the old one

   Record its final index and deactivate it.

2. Create the new one

   With its own opening index, on the same room.

3. Check the next invoice

   It should charge only consumption since installation.

Never edit the old meter's number to match a new device. The next reading would be billed as if the difference were consumption.

3. Shared meters#

Where one meter serves several rooms, decide the split rule before the first invoice: evenly, by occupants, or by a fixed ratio. See Meter readings.
