The consumption-based maintenance plan checks if a work order must be created based on the registered meter value. The plan uses recurrence, meter unit, and reset method settings.

You can find the meter list on both the business object record and the work order.

To register a new meter value, enter the transaction date/time and the new meter value. When the value exceeds the predefined recurrence, a new work order is automatically created.

You can also register meter readings using the Field Service app.
