Fuel Manager Reports
Tip
Using Fuel
Manager reports to help make pricing decisions.
The CDB records daily fuel sales data
and makes the information available through a series of reports that assist you in making decisions
about your fuel business. These reports are available on the Reports menu
by clicking Fuel Manager.
The Fuel Comparisons report (on
the Reports menu, click Fuel Manager > Comparisons) allows you to look
at your fuel sales history over different periods of time to help you establish
how your fuel business is progressing. Seasonal increases and
decreases in sales may be part of your business cycle and you can use this
report to compare the current month to the previous month or the same month last year or any
user-definable period you select.
The Competitive Fuel Pricing
report (on the Reports menu, click Fuel Manager > Competitive
Fuel Pricing) allows you to log your prices and competitors' prices so you can track
how competitive your pricing is in your market.
After you review your Fuel
Manager reports, you may want to use the Fuel Projections report (on the
Reports menu, click Fuel Manager > Projections) to
access projections that help answer "What would happen if I changed my
cost, volume, and/or retail price?" Before the report displays you
will be prompted to enter a date range for number of CDB days processed. Using this date range, the CDB displays the
current fuel volume, price and
cost for each fuel grade on the Proposed window. At this time you can
enter proposed volumes, prices and costs, press
f3,and compare the results to what
displays in the Current window, which will not have changed. You can then
toggle back and forth using
f3 to try out other "What if"
scenarios.
