Dispenser Setup

Fuel Dispenser Setup displays all the Fuel Dispensers currently in the system. Dispensers can be Inserted (Added), Edited or Deleted and descriptions changed. Making chnages to this information will affect sales numbers in the Fuel Sales screen.
 
Dispensers must be set up to sell and track Fuel. Before Dispensers can be setup, Tanks and Fuel Products must be setup first.
 
In most cases Dispensers will be set up to based upon Fuel Grade sales. In other words, one Dispenser for Unleaded, one Dispenser for Premium..etc.  If it is needed, actual Dispenser sales tracking can be set up for each position there is a hose pumping Fuel.  Not all POS systems support sending hose position information back.

Dispenser Code

The code is the Dispenser number. Mandatory field.  The most common configuration is to set up one Dispenser for each Fuel Product sold. If set up for each actual Dispenser or position is needed, we recommend putting a 0 before the single digit Dispenser  Positions like 01 for 1 and 02 for 2 etc.  This will make reading reports and sorting easier.
