-> Fuel Types
Fuel Types are used by Texada Web to add a service or
sales part billing to the Contract when Pickup Tickets or In-Yard
Returns are processed in order to charge for any fuel used when the
tank reading is captured through the Texada Web app.
Texada Web can be activated from the Logistics tab.
When a specific fuel type from this table is assigned to a Sales
product in the Inventory Re-Order
Information window or to Rental equipment in the Inventory Re-Order Information window, the
Fuel Type can be used as a filter to select products in the
Inventory Search window.
Some products have dual fuel tanks such as a Scissor Lift that uses
gas outside and propane for inside. Each fuel type needs to be
assigned to the product in the Product Fuel
Types window with the tank capacity so that an Inspection Sheet
submitted by Texada Web prompts for fuel levels of each tank.
When a product with a fuel reading is returned in a Texada Web
In Yard Return and the reading is captured, the fuel usage
is billed by adding the associated product or service to the
invoice that results from the Rental
Return in SRM.
The fuel quantity can only be changed on the Rental Return if the operator has role permission
to 'Modify In-Yard Fuel Qty In Returns' as controlled in the
"Texada Web/Rental Logic" window of the Security
Role Permissions.
An operator must be assigned a Security
Role that allows permission to the Fuel Types in order
to access this table.

DESCRIPTION
- The description of either the associated product or service is
displayed for reference.
TYPE
- Select one of the two types of fuel measurement methods from
the drop-down list:
- Select "LEVEL" to show a "fuel slider" on the Mobile
device in the Texada Web app to measure the amount of fuel RETURNED
with the equipment.
The slider measures the amount of fuel that is left in the tank
when with the equipment is returned or picked up.
For example if the fuel type description is Diesel, Texada Web
prompts for ‘Diesel returned’ on In Yard Returns and optionally
from Pickup Tickets if the Division is flagged for Fuel/Meter in
Logistics.
Based on the capacity set for the product the Product Fuel Types and the position of the slider
the fuel "not-returned" will be billed at the "Amount" rate set on
the associated Service or the price on the
associated Sales Product.
-
Select "USED" to display a numeric field, and to prompt
for a numeric value for fuel USED, in Texada Web.
The value entered as the amount used must be between 0 and the tank
capacity set for the product in the Product Fuel
Types.
The units captured as used on In Yard Returns and optionally from
Pickup Tickets, will be billed at the "Amount" rate set on the
associated Service or the price on the
associated Sales Product.
