Step-by-Step 

  • Phantom: Reconcile Balance in FUELINVENTORY > FUELINVENTORY or OTHERINVENTORY> OTHERINVENTORY
    • Write down current balance from portlet

...

    • Add Quantity in Excel
    • Quantity must = Current Balance
    • Select a transaction that has not been processed (Received toggle is to the left)
    • Find the actual invoice for the transaction.
    • Figure out the quantity purchased in the appropriate unit of measure.  This may come from the “paper” invoice.
    • Figure out the unit price.  You may need to use the “paper” invoice to figure this out since the quantity for blanket PO’s is not in the transaction.


  • Lies: Go to the Lies with Real Part #, Phantom Storeroom (e.g., UNLEADED or DIESEL > FUELINVENTORY or PN008087 > OTHERINVENTORY)
    • Don’t forget to Change the view to All Records
    • Verify the Current Balance = 0

...

    • Inventory Adjustment > Average Cost
    • Enter the unit price calculated above ithe in the New Average Cost (Don’t worry if there’s an existing Average Cost in this Phantom storeroom, the quantity must be zero so it calculates to zero)
