Having fuel orders become Available when they are submitted

About this topic

  • Audience: eStat administrators, hosting company system administrators

  • Conditions/restrictions: The status update must be performed in TMWSuite’s Order Entry application. It cannot be accomplished in the Dispatch application.

By default, when a user submits a fuel order, the application gives it the Tendered status. Before resources can be assigned to the order, its status must be updated to Available.

You can allow orders created on the Fuel Order Entry page to set to Available status immediately.

To have tendered shipments become Available orders, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Menu > Configuration > Settings Manager.
    The Settings Manager page opens.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If you want the setting change to apply to all roles, verify the Role field is set to [Global Settings].

    • If you want the setting change to apply to a specific role, select it in the Role field.

      Notes:

      1. The default roles for fuel users are CustomerFuel and CustomerFuel Sub-User. Your company may have created other roles for fuel users.

      2. If the setting has already been changed for at least one role, its text label is bold and italic.

        A message asks you to verify that you want to change the role. Click OK.

  3. If needed, select Customer in the Module Selection field.

  4. Select the Modules tab.

  5. Click these tabs: Application Settings > Fuel Order Entry.

  6. In the Misc. Options section, select the Send Orders Directly to TMWSuite check box.

  7. Click Save.
    A message appears at the top of the page, stating your settings were saved successfully.
    If you are making changes for a specific role and this is the first time the setting has been changed for any role, the text label style changes to bold and italic.

    If you do not want to save, click Revert instead. The application cancels any unsaved changes and reverts to the last saved settings.
