 Determining Fuel Consumption

Use

You use this function to specify the ending fuel level and then determine fuel consumption in order to settle fuel costs in service charge settlement. As part of this process, the system calculates the value of the ending fuel level using the FIFO valuation procedure, based on the fuel levels entered . The system also generates adjustment postings for the fuel level in Financial Accounting and Controlling.

Prerequisites

Features

You can choose to have the system either simulate the following operations, or perform them in update mode:

  • Calculate the value of the ending fuel level and determine consumption

  • Complete the ending level value in the fuel level table

  • Complete the consumption value (fuel level indicator 7) in the fuel level table

  • Create posting records (adjustment of fuel level) for FI/CO, (including or excluding the non-deductible value-added tax)

  • Print reports

  • Update postings in FI/CO (fuel level adjustment postings)

When you execute this program in update mode, the system writes the current ending fuel level value as the initial fuel level (fuel level indicator 3) in the fuel level table with a new reference date (first day of new settlement period). This operation of copying the initial level for the next period takes place without any accounting posting. (Accounting postings are only generated the first time the initial fuel level is entered ).
