Fluid (Equipment - Historical Costs)


The Fluid tab enables you to display and record an equipment unit’s historical fluids consumption and costs.

To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on equipment ID, month, and year. The default sort is year/month in descending order, so the most recent data is listed first.
