Resolution

Currently, a custom format is required for this process with only the following fields mapped:

  1. Asset code
  2. Odometer (only if importing odometer information)
  3. Hourmeter (only if importing hourmeter information)
  4. Date
  5. Quantity - this field must be populated with zero for the import to work correctly

With the release of the code included in Add option to Fuel Usage Import to select which type of import to process, a custom format will no longer be required.  Instead:

  • In the Fuel Usage Import program, select an Import processing type of Meter
  • Any import file can be used (it does not need to be a custom format).  Only the relevant meter information will be pulled from the import file and quantity will automatically be set to zero.
