Updating storage tank quantities

Before you determine your bulk tank replenishment or emptying requirements, run BD Administrator Tank Calculations Report. Use this report to recalculate your bulk tank values to determine daily usage, current tank level, estimated empty date, estimated full date, and other values that are stored in BD Tank Master Setup. We recommend you set this up as a store report to run nightly, after invoice processing.

  1. Select Bulk Delivery > Administrator > BDA Reports > BDAC.
  2. Select Stored or One Time from the New option.
  3. Specify the Printing Information and click Next.
  4. Specify any ranges. Click Next.
  5. On the Options page, specify these values:
    Number of Deliveries

    Specify the number of deliveries to use to calculate Daily Usage.

    If you have accumulated sufficient transaction history, we recommend you specify 3 to 6 deliveries.

    Note: For tanks with insufficient history, specify a value in the Current Tank Level % and Daily Usage fields in BD Tank Master Setup, and select the Override options for both fields to prevent their values from being updated by this report.
    Ignore Product?

    Select Yes to calculate Daily Usage for each bulk tank using the most recent delivery history for the value specified in the Number of Deliveries field, regardless of seasonal product changes. Seasonal products are defined for tanks in BD Tank Master Setup-Seasonal.

    Select No only the current product is used to calculate daily usage. Delivery history for the Number of Deliveries specified includes the history for current product only.
