      • Enter correct Beginning Balance for each Fuel Code.
      • If within current year, there should not be issues.

      • Select Save.
    • Calculated Beginning Balance – Beginning of Year balance +/- the transactions that have occurred throughout the year prior to the From Date (From Date minus 1).  The transactions should include Purchase Invoices, Sales Invoices, and Inventory Adjustments. Look at the following dates to determine the transaction date: purinvdt.pidtmfbilloflad (Purchase Invoice), invoice.invdate (Sales Invoice), and invadj.date (Inventory Adjustment).
    • Ending Balance – Beginning of Year balance +/- transactions that have occurred throughout the year up through the To Date. The transactions should include Purchase Invoices, Sales Invoices, and Inventory Adjustments.
