How to add Gas Tank Mappings into Daily Reports

This article outlines how CStore Essentials integrates with your VeederRoot to bring your end-of-day gallon inventory and in-tank fuel position automatically into your daily reports

Updated over 2 months ago

The integration works via your point-of-sale system. This means that your VeederRoot will need to be properly connected to your point of sale, and your point of sale will need to be configured to generate a .xml file to the back office BoOutBox directory. Please work with your Gilbarco technician to get this done.
