Request a Fuel Coupon

A guide who needs fuel asks for a coupon from Trailhead Mobile. Operations is notified and answers by issuing coupons or declining with a reason. Either way the guide is told, and a guide never has more than one open request.

The situation

The guide taps Request fuel coupon in Fuel coupons. The request appears under Requests on the Fuel coupons page with the guide's estimated fuel. Management issues a coupon from the request, with the guide already selected, or declines it.

What starts it

A guide needs fuel and has no coupon left, or expects to run low.

How it unfolds

GuideOperations
  1. 1

    Request a fuel coupon from the wallet

    Guide

    Asking again while a request is open returns that same request instead of creating another.

  2. 2

    Open the notification and the Requests tab

    Operations

    Each pending request shows the guide, the request date, their estimated fuel left, and any note.

  3. 3

    Issue a coupon from the request

    Operations

    The guide is already selected. Issuing any coupon to the guide answers their open request, and the guide is notified of the new coupon.

  4. 4

    Decline the request with an optional reason

    Operations

    The guide is notified with the reason and can request again later. No coupon is created.

Who's involved

Guide

Requests a coupon once and follows the answer in the wallet.

Operations

Reviews the request with the guide's estimated fuel and issues coupons or declines.

What each person sees

Guide

A Coupon requested notice while the request is open, then the new coupon or the reason it was declined.

Why: know whether fuel is coming

Operations

Pending requests with each guide's estimated fuel, plus recently issued and declined requests.

Why: answer every request once

The rule to remember

A request never creates a coupon by itself; only issuing does. A guide has at most one open request, and requests never create Guide account, payroll, reimbursement, or payout entries.
