The fuel list
- Open Fuel in the Vehicles and drivers space. The tabs are Entries, Card import, and Checks.
- On Entries, filter by vehicle, From and To dates, Source (Any source, Driver, Office, or Card import), and Flagged only.
- Click Show more to load more.
- Open an entry for its odometer, "Efficiency since the last full entry", station, trip, and receipt photo. Flags say "Raised as a minor issue in Maintenance." (with a link), "In the Fleet inbox for fuel managers.", or "Flagged for a look; nothing was refused."
An empty list says "No fuel entries yet" and offers Record fuel.
Add a fuel entry
- Click Record fuel (or Add fuel entry).
- Choose the Fuel: Diesel, Petrol, CNG, LPG, Electricity, or Other. The unit follows: L or gal (gal by default in the United States), kWh, or kg.
- Enter the Quantity. It must be more than zero.
- When money is visible, enter Price per unit or Total. Entering one disables the other. The page shows "Total AMOUNT" for a price.
- Enter the vehicle's odometer (optional). A reading far from the last one asks you to confirm it.
- Office only: set When. If empty, it is now.
- Choose the Station from the vendor list or Another station, or type it.
- Optional: Card, last 4 digits (optional) (only four digits are kept), Receipt photo (optional), and Note (optional) (up to 500 characters).
- Click Save entry. After a meter warning, click Confirm and save.
A fuel entry linked to a trip needs the trip to be in progress.
Void an entry
- Open the entry and click Void this entry.
- Answer Why is this entry voided? (up to 300 characters, required).
- Click Void entry. Click Keep it to cancel.
The entry stays on record and its cost line is reversed. You cannot undo it. The entry then shows "Voided DATE: reason".
