In order to properly manage your businesses assets and liabilities,its important that all fuel invoices are paid on a regular bases. The method on how your fuel invoices are paid depend on if you are a branded (i.e. shell, chevron, BP, Texaco, etc), unbranded store or agent gas.

For branded stores, typically the jobber collects all the credit card batches on your behalf and settles them against the fuel invoices. Simply put, when your notice of draft comes in from the jobber, they will tell you that you owe them X amount for fuel invoices, they owe you Y amount for credit card batches (minus fees) and thus will deposit/debit Z amount from your account.

If you have a branded store, follow these steps to make your fuel invoice payments:
