Setup fuel management

To use fuel management, create a fuel master product and release it to the legal entity.

Set up the fuel item with these values:

• Type: Item
• Tracking dimension: None
• Default order line type: Sales/Purchase

Create one released item for each legal entity that uses fuel management.

Add a fuel item as a supplementary rental item to a product that requires refueling.

Set the following values:

• Supplementary quantity = Desired default fuel quantity
• Required level = optional
• Allow quantity change = Yes

The fuel country quality table must be set up before a fuel type can be used in each country. The country is taken from the business object location address. The setup is found under Business objects>Setup>Fuel management>Fuel country quality table. For each country, allowed fuel types must be added and given a numeric quality rating. A higher number equals higher quality.

The fuel conversion table is used when fuel is transferred between countries. It is a mapping of fuel types/names used in each country for a business object. A record must be set up for the origin and destination for each pair of countries. The country and fuel combinations must exist in the fuel country quality table before they can be added. 

The setup can be found by going to Business Objects >Setup>Fuel management>Fuel conversion table.

Business objects that consume fuel must have a fuel tank added prior to being added to a rental order.

1. Set the Enable Fuel Tank toggle to yes in the Miscellaneous tab of the business object.

2. In the business object tab, click fuel tank

3. Click New

4. Enter the fuel type, capacity, and current quantity and select Main fuel tank in the main tank field. Each object can have only one main tank.

5. Add additional fuel tanks if applicable.
