Last Odometer Reading

The contract's last odometer reading is used to calculate the expected Kms Claimed.
A home charging claim cannot be processed if the last odometer reading cannot be found in the system.

If a vehicle is new, this will be assumed to be 0 if an opening odometer reading is not recorded.

For used vehicles, an opening odometer reading is required when home charging is being entered for the first time.

The last odometer reading is selected from the most recent of the following records

Contracts / Vehicle "Start Odometer Date" and "Start Odometer"
Contracts / Maintenance 'Fuel / Charging' "Date" and "Odo"
Contracts / Events 'EV Charging Method' "Date" and "Amount"

'Fuel / Charging' is written for readability. Odometer readings are actually selected where the class's "Quote Profile Table" is 'qt_quote_fuel'.
