TRANSACTION PROCESSING
Transaction processing is essentially the same whether you have the L/100KM or LPH option.
Because vehicle file field names are different depending on which option your system has, the
transaction processing for each is described separately. You need read only the transaction
processing description for your system option.
L/100KM Transaction Processing
When the system detects an odometer entry, the vehicle number is checked to see if it is in the
vehicle file. If the vehicle is in the file and L/100KM calculation and reasonable odometer check is
enabled, the system validates the odometer entry and updates the vehicle record when the
transaction is completed. If L/100KM calculation and reasonable odometer entry is disabled, the
system accepts the odometer entry without verification and updates the vehicle record when the
transaction is completed. Transaction processing for each condition is as follows:
L/100KM Calculation Enabled
The odometer entry is checked against the last odometer reading entered. If the difference is
greater than the maximum kilometers between fueling range (LM command) or less than the last
recorded odometer, the entry is considered invalid.
If the odometer is valid, fueling is allowed. When the transaction completes, the system updates:
●
the vehicle record fields: E ODOM, to show the last odometer entry; KLMS to show the new,
accumulated kilometers; LITERS, to show the new accumulated number of liters pumped;
and L/100, to show the new calculation. Status flags may also change.
●
the transaction fields, KLMS and L/100 to show the kilometers traveled and calculated
L/100KM.
If the odometer is invalid for the reasons listed above, the user is reprompted up to the number of
times specified in the NO. OF RETRIES system configuration entry (see Changes in Standard
Commands later in this section). If a valid odometer is not entered, the transaction terminates.
When this occurs, the system:
●
makes no changes to the vehicle record
●
stores an empty transaction (no fuel dispensed) with the message INVALID ODOM in the
ERROR field. It also displays the following fields based on the value of the odometer
entered:
- If the entry is greater than the last recorded odometer, the value is recorded in the KLMS
field and the L/100 field shows 0.
- If the entry is less than the last recorded odometer, the KLMS and L/100 fields contain
question marks.
After the termination of the first transaction (where the system takes the listed actions), the user is
prompted to enter his card(s) again. The user can then enter any odometer reading and fueling is
allowed. When fueling is complete, a normal transaction is recorded. The system updates the
vehicle and transaction files as follows:
