The Activity Reports provide an overview of how FuelMaster® Plus is configured (single site, or, system- wide. Information is broken down by:
1. Deliveries, transfers, and adjustments
2. Fuel transactions by hose number
3. Fuel transaction totals by tank, and
4. Oil check transactions.
Activity Reports quickly allow the user to see:
1. From which tank a product is being withdrawn
2. Number of month-to-date and year-to-date deliveries, adjustments, and transfers whether a hose is activated or unused
3. The type of product being dispensed
4. Unit equivalents: gallons, quarts, etc.,
5. Number of month-to-date and year-to-date units pumped from each hose and tank
6. Number of month-to-date and year-to-date transactions by hose and tank, and
7. Number of month-to-date and year-to-date oil check transactions.

FuelMaster® provides 176 transaction report options based on transactions in batches (e.g. Last ‘100’ transactions) or by groupings (Vehicle, User, Customer, Site).
Reports for transactions by groupings may be based on 16 different database groupings including vehicle ID, user ID, fuel site ID, and customer ID.
The Central Controller operator is prompted to select the type of transaction report, the desired grouping (where applicable), then input the desired date(s) and time(s) range to be covered by the report.
Reports include daily totals for transaction code*, quantity, cost, and period totals for products and dispenser hoses.

This is a 2-digit code used to distinguish types of transactions. Codes beginning with 0 indicate transactions recorded at the Service Island.
1. Codes beginning with 1 indicate transactions entered manually at the Central Controller.
2. 00 or 10 - Fueling vehicle with a Vehicle Key,
3. 02 or 12 – Product removed from a storage tank with a Tank Truck Key (see 08 or 18 below),
4. 03 or 13 - Fueling 2 or more successive vehicles a with Supervisor Key,
5. 04 or 14 - One-time issue with Supervisor Key,
6. 06 or 16 - Recording fuel drop with a Supervisor Key,
7. 07 - Inventory adjustments with a Supervisor Key,
8. 08 or 18 - Product transferred into the tanker truck with Tanker Truck Key,
9. 09 - Oil check transaction.
10. Transaction Code ‘99’ has been added to accommodate credit card systems.

FuelMaster® software contains a complete invoice generation package, eliminating the labor and paperwork of fuel billing. Up to 162 possible invoice options may be selected, and the Central Controller operator only has to input the billing period. The invoices are developed from information already present in the software program's databases.
Invoices may be generated “by customer” for all customers or a single customer, or “by grouping”. “By grouping” allows the selection of invoice(s) based on transaction code, vehicle ID, user ID, fuel site ID, customer ID (below), user’s name, user's department, user’s agency, vehicle’s agency, vehicle’s organization, vehicle’s usage, or one of five miscellaneous fields selectable by the system owner. All calculations are automatically performed by the FuelMaster® software. FuelMaster® provides site reports selectable for listings of site information, current product inventory, product inventory history (for a period of time), and product delivery history. Sample Management Reports & Transaction Data.

The FuelMaster® software automatically performs inventory calculations for you. After data is downloaded from a FuelMaster® fueling site (including automated Tanker Trucks), inventory amounts are immediately recalculated. When the Central Controller operator requests Inventory Reports, current information for one or all sites, including the most recent date and quantity of fuel delivered per tank, is reported. Reports can also be cross-referenced with tank monitoring systems and the inventory adjusted as needed.

FuelMaster® provides vehicle reports selectable for listings of vehicle information, vehicle efficiency, authorized vehicles, unauthorized vehicles, AIM2 status, AIM2 history, ingress/egress, and daily quantity limit. These report categories are each further selectable by nine groupings: vehicle ID (below), vehicle usage, vehicle agency, vehicle organization, or one of five miscellaneous fields selectable by the system owner. After a grouping is selected, the reports may then be selected for all vehicles, or a specific single vehicle.

NOTE: When the vehicle databases are filled with vehicle information, an odometer range entry is entered for each vehicle. This range is then encoded into the vehicle key. When a transaction is made, the driver is prompted to enter his/her vehicle's odometer reading. If the entered reading for this transaction is not within the range limits since the last transaction, the Vehicle Efficiency Report will calculate efficiency since the last transaction, but will not figure that efficiency rating into the average. (See example entry below with Message: “Same Odometer Reading”)

FuelMaster® provides user reports selectable for listings of user information, authorized users, and unauthorized users. These three report categories are each further selectable by four groupings: user ID (below), user name, user agency, and user organization. After a grouping is selected, the reports may then be selected for all users or a specific single user.

FuelMaster® provides customer reports for listings of customer information. Customers, in this context, are individuals outside your organization. By identifying these individuals as customers, separate reports can be prepared and invoices with separate pricing levels can be generated. Customer reports may be selected for all customers or a specific single customer (below).

FuelMaster® provides utility key reports based on listings of utility key information (Supervisor, Manual Issue, etc.) authorized utility keys, and/or unauthorized utility keys. These three categories are each further selectable by nine utility key groupings: key ID (below), key usage, key agency, key organization, or one of five miscellaneous fields selectable by the system owner.
After a grouping is selected, the reports may then be selected for all utility keys, or a specific single utility key.

FuelMaster® provides three OBD (On Board Diagnostic) based reports:
1. Active Trouble Codes Report - Identifies currently known trouble codes for each vehicle.
2. Trouble Code History Report - Displays a history of trouble codes for one or more vehicles.
3. Extended Vehicle Data Reports - detail valuable information gathered from the vehicles on board computer such as odometer readings and fluid levels.
Each of these reports can be grouped by a total of nine different grouping methods. Below is an example report (below):

FuelMaster® provides two preventative maintenance reports. Preventative maintenance is tracked internally by the FuelMaster® software using odometers and chronometers. The software will issue a notice when a vehicle’s odometer/chronometer readings are within a user defined range of the PM due value. These vehicles can be easily viewed using the PM Over Notice report. Vehicles past due for preventative maintenance appear in the PM Overdue report.

FuelMaster® provides comparative reporting for on-facility and off-facility travel. Knowing where actual miles are being driven facilitates imposing fuel accountability and implementing mile tracking for tax- reporting purposes. Each vehicle record can be expanded to show the individual ingress or egress instances within the reporting period. Tracking the individual ingresses and egress allows for fast and efficient research to verify vehicles leaving for and arrive from service as well as showing up for PMs.

FuelMaster® provides cumulative travel distance report. The total distance traveled within a reporting period is illustrated with a beginning and ending odometer reading with a total distance. The ability to choose a range of vehicles and dates allows for simple comparisons between vehicles and groups of vehicles.

FuelMaster® provides a list of all vehicles that reach their daily quantity limit. Tracking fuel consumption limits by vehicle helps to monitor fueling needs and prevent misappropriation of fuel.
