The TankWatch inventory reconciliation feature is an integral part of the FuelForce fleet management software solution. There are date-to-date and fill-to-fill inventory reconciliation options and access to an the inventory tab on teh Tank database.
Date-to-Date Tank Inventory Reconciliation
The reported products issued are subtracted from the total quantity of product delivered on a tank by tank basis. The difference is compared with the standing inventory and the percentage of error is reported.
Fill-to-Fill Tank Inventory Reconciliation
The TankWatch system compares the reported product issued to the measured product in a tank to determine if there is a potential leak. Tank volumes and deliveries for tanks which are not equipped with a TLS device may be entered manually at the site via supervisor functions, or at the HCP.
Inventory Tab
The Inventory Tab (shown above) is used to show a visual of the balance fuel in each tank. This displays the balance in each of the fuel tanks. It has been color coded for ease of distinction.
Red indicates the balance in the tank is less than 30% of the capacity of the tank.
Blue indicates a balance in the tank between 30% and 50% of the capacity of the tank.
Black indicates the balance is greater than 50% of the capacity of the tank.
This display is always current with the interactive network version of FuelForce software.
The Tanks Table (tank_master) defines the physical containers that store the products. These can be either above ground or underground. FuelForce keeps a perpetual inventory in each of the tanks that are set up. This table includes information about the tanks, such as the product it holds, the capacity of the tank, and other pertinent information.
Manual Dips (Inventory Levels)
FuelForce is a perpetual inventory control system. Dip readings provide a means to verify the quantity of fuel in any tank. It is recommended that you take a dip reading immediately preceding a delivery and immediately following the fuel delivery.
Capturing the dip readings can be done manually with input at the island or from the host, or can be automatically captured with your tank monitoring system and transferred into the FuelForce database using the FuelForce TankWatch software.
