AP Data Entry Option
05/29/03 12-5
If the hours entry is invalid but less than the beginning hours, the E HOURS field is not
updated (this would result in negative hours). A HOURS does not change, LITERS
increases by the number of liters pumped, and HPL is recalculated. The status flag is
updated to >> to indicate that fueling occurred but the last hours were not recorded.
- In the transaction file, if the hours entry is valid or greater than the last recorded hours, the
TIME E and HPL fields are updated. If the hours entry is less than the last recorded
hours, the TIME E and HPL fields contain question marks.

Reasonable Odometer Option
When the system detects an odometer entry, the vehicle number is checked to see if it is in
the vehicle file. If it is, the odometer entry is checked for validity against the last odometer
reading entered. It also considers the maximum kilometers between fuelings value (LM
command). If the vehicle number is in the vehicle file, and RETURN is pressed at the ODOM
prompt, it is recorded as 000000 and considered an invalid odometer.
If the odometer is valid, fueling is allowed. When the transaction completes, the system
updates the ODOM field in the vehicle record to show the latest odometer entry. The status
flag may also change.
If the odometer is invalid, the user is re-prompted. (You can indicate the number of entry
retries allowed using the SC command.) If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the
system accepts the next odometer entered and fueling is allowed. When fueling is complete,
a transaction is generated as usual. The vehicle record in the vehicle file is updated at this
time. The odometer entry is recorded in the ODOM field. The status flag may change based
on this new data.
●
Reasonable Hours Option
When the system detects an hours entry, the vehicle number is checked to see if it is in the
vehicle file. If it is, the hours entry is checked for validity against the last hours reading

recorded as 000000 and considered an invalid hours.
If the hours is valid, fueling is allowed. When the transaction completes, the system updates
the E HOURS field in the vehicle record to show the latest hours entry. The status flag may
also change.
If the hours is invalid, the user is re-prompted. (You can indicate the number of entry retries
allowed using the SC command.) If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the system
accepts the next hours entered and fueling is allowed. When fueling is complete, a
transaction is generated as usual. The vehicle record in the vehicle file is updated at this
time. The hours entry is recorded in the E HOURS field. The status flag may change based
on this new data.
