Density tracking and tanker receipt review in Petrodweep

Fuel purchase and density tracking are important because tanker receipts directly affect stock, sales, and variation. A connected workflow helps staff record purchase details, dip readings, density samples, report files, and final readings without losing context.

Purchase record

Capture purchase date, tanker, fuel type, quantity, rate, and invoice context clearly.

Dip details

Connect dip rows and receipt readings with the tanker fuel purchase record.

Density samples

Track sections, compartments, samples, final readings, and uploaded test reports.

Record the purchase clearly

A fuel purchase record should capture purchase date, tanker, supplier or invoice context, fuel type, quantity, rate, and line item totals. This gives the owner a reliable record of what entered the pump.

Capture dip and receipt details

Dip rows help connect physical receipt and tank-level stock checks. When purchase entries and dip data live together, it becomes easier to review differences later.

Use density sections and samples

Density tracking may require multiple sections, compartments, samples, and final readings. A mobile workflow is useful because the team can record readings near the tanker instead of waiting to enter them at the office.

  • Tanker and fuel type context.
  • Sections and compartments.
  • Multiple sample rows.
  • Final reading values.
  • Report images or documents.

Keep reports attached to the record

Report images or files are more useful when attached to the density check. This helps managers and owners review supporting evidence with the purchase and density details.

Frequently asked questions

Why should density be tracked with fuel purchase?

Because tanker receipt, stock movement, and fuel quality review are connected. Keeping density data with purchase context makes later review easier.

Can density reports be uploaded from mobile?

Yes, Petrodweep's mobile workflow is designed to attach report files or images to density records.

Should every pump record tanker details separately?

A tanker master is useful when the same tankers are used repeatedly. It improves consistency across fuel purchase and density records.
