Amending incorrect odometer readings

When checking in a pool car, let’s say the ending odometer in is meant to be 32000 but mistakenly we enter 42000.

Next time we try to check in the same pool car with the odometer reading, 32050 the system would display an error similar to The ending odometer value 32050 is less than what we already have on file (42000). Please check the odometer value and try again."

Follow the below steps to amend this

How to
