Product Level Contracts

Product Level Contracts are used to upcharge deliveries to contracts when premium products are delivered against base product contracts. This is common during the winter when fuel with cold weather additives are delivered.

Rules

  • The system setting for ProductLevelContract must be set to Y.
  • All contracts will need to have the contracted product added. This includes contracts that will not be upcharged and any contracts already in Energy Force.
  • Upcharges happen automatically in EnergyTrack.
  • Manual sales posting does NOT automatically process upcharges. Any applicable charges will need to be manually added during posting.
  • Any product delivered to a tank attached to a Product Level Contract will consume contract gallons. The contract gallons are not product-specific.
  • The upcharge price per gallon is calculated by using the price in the price tables by subtracting the base price from the premium price. The Price Codes to use in the calculation can be identified by selecting Contract Product XRef at Supervisor Menu / Maintenance Menu.
