Setting up a company’s FuelQuest order transfers

Fuel Dispatch can automatically transfer an order to a FuelQuest Fuel Management system. To transfer order information, you must set up translations for each of your Bill To companies. These translations match Fuel Dispatch IDs with the IDs used in a Bill To company’s FuelQuest system.

For each Bill To company using FuelQuest, you record translations for:

  • Associated companies
    All shippers, consignees, suppliers, and Account Of companies that appear on a Bill To’s orders.

  • Commodities
    All commodities that appear on a Bill To’s orders.

  • Terminals
    All terminals that appear on a Bill To’s orders.

You also provide translations of your charge types. Charge type translations are applicable to all orders. They are not linked to a specific Bill To company.

  1. To record translation information for a Bill To company accurately, the Bill To must supply all the IDs to be translated. You should have this information on hand before you begin recording translations.

  2. Transferring orders to FuelQuest requires the FuelQuest Interface web service. Contact your TMW Support representative for more information on acquiring and installing this web service.

To access the windows where you define these translation IDs, you must use the [FuelDispatch]ThirdPartyInterfacesMenuVisible setting in your TTS50 to make the Third Party Interfaces command accessible in Fuel Dispatch.

Identifying a Bill To as needing FuelQuest translations

Before recording a Bill To’s FuelQuest translation IDs, you must specify that it uses FuelQuest. Once that is established, you can record its translation IDs. Translation IDs are needed because your Bill To companies will not all use the same FuelQuest IDs for companies, commodities, or terminals. For example, Bill To ABC may identify #2 Diesel fuel as commodity 12345 while Bill To XYZ identifies it as 45678. By setting up translations for each Bill To, you can match the company, commodity, and terminal IDs used by Fuel Dispatch with the FuelQuest IDs in their particular system.

You must identify the Bill To company as using FuelQuest before you can set up its translations.

The Bill To company must provide its FuelQuest IDs to you before you perform this setup.

To identify a Bill To Company’s FuelQuest IDs, follow these steps:

  1. Select Maintenance > Third Party Interfaces > Fuel Quest > Bill To Maintenance.
    The Delivery Report Bill To Management window opens.

Configuring FuelQuest translations for charge types

To ensure that order information correctly transfers from Fuel Dispatch to FuelQuest, you must provide translation information for your company’s charge types.

  1. Select Maintenance > Third Party Interfaces > Fuel Quest > Charge Type Translation.
    In the Delivery Report Charge Type Translation window, the Available Charge Types pane lists all charge types.
