Vehicle File A vehicle file is provided for the user to enter vehicle information. Every vehicle in
the file may be configured as to whether or not the system will calculate
MPG/HPG and execute a reasonable odometer/hours check on it. If the feature
is disabled for a vehicle record, the system will continue to update the total
gallons and odometer/hours entries, but MPG/HPG will not be calculated.
MPG File
Information
MPG/HPG software computes fuel efficiency two ways: per transaction and
averaged over a period of time (usually a month). To use the MPG/HPG option,
the user enters information on each of his vehicles into a vehicle record. These
records are stored in a vehicle file. The MPG/HPG option uses the vehicle data
you enter plus calculated values to provide total MPG/HPG information. The
vehicle information for MPG is different than that for HPG; both types are shown
below.
MPG vehicle file fields:
• VEH 3- to 6-digit vehicle number
• B ODOM up to 6-digit beginning odometer reading
• E ODOM up to 6-digit ending odometer reading (last recorded)
• GALLONS up to 8-digits for total gallons for period
• MILES 6-digits for miles driven
• MPG 3 digits before and one after the decimal point for MPG value.
• STAT a record status code indicating MPG comments (for more on
status flags, see the Operation Manual)
HPG vehicle/equipment file fields:
• VEH 3- to 6-digit vehicle/equipment number
• B HOURS up to 6-digit beginning hours reading
• E HOURS up to 6-digit ending hours reading (last recorded)
• A HOURS up to 6-digit new accumulated hours
• GALLONS up to 8-digits for total gallons for period
• HPG 3 digits before and one after the decimal point for HPG value.
• STAT a record status code indicating HPG comments
Transaction
Printout
The transaction printout, in addition to standard transaction fields, lists the number
of miles/hours since the vehicle’s last transaction, and the per transaction
miles/hours per gallon. A sample MPG transaction printout is shown in Figure 2-
18.
