Track Program Fuel and Low-Fuel Warnings

Every Program a guide drives with GPS tracking records the fuel it burned. Trailhead estimates the fuel each guide has left (the coupon liters they used minus fuel burned on completed Programs) and warns the guide before they run out, with the next step: use a coupon, request one, or wait for a request already sent.

The situation

A guide completes a Program with GPS tracking. Its kilometers at the guide's vehicle consumption, or at the organization benchmark when the vehicle has none, become that Program's fuel. When that leaves the guide below the organization's low-fuel warning, they get one push and a Running low on fuel banner in Calendar until they use or receive a coupon.

What starts it

A guide finishes a Program's GPS-tracked drive.

How it unfolds

GuideOperations
  1. 1

    Set the low-fuel warning in Logistics settings

    Operations

    The default is 10 L; 0 turns warnings off. The organization benchmark (L/100 km) applies when a guide's vehicle has no consumption.

  2. 2

    Complete the Program with GPS tracking on

    Guide

    When tracking ends, the Program's recorded kilometers at the vehicle's L/100 km become that Program's fuel. A guide and their AUX each get their own.

  3. 3

    Check estimated fuel in Fuel coupons

    Guide

    The estimate starts at the guide's first coupon use and counts only coupon fuel; fuel bought personally is not included.

  4. 4

    Follow the warning: use a coupon or request one

    Guide

    The banner and the push name the next step: use an available coupon, request a coupon, or wait for an open request. One push is sent for the Program that crosses the warning.

  5. 5

    Review Program fuel by guide and period

    Operations

    Each row shows the Program date, guide, CIS, kilometers, rate, and estimated liters.

Who's involved

Guide

Drives the Program with tracking on and acts on the fuel warning.

Operations

Sets the low-fuel warning and reviews Program fuel by guide.

What each person sees

Guide

Estimated fuel left and the warning level, a Running low on fuel banner in Calendar while low, and the fuel of each recent Program.

Why: refuel before the next Program

Operations

Program fuel by guide and period, and each pending request's estimated fuel.

Why: anticipate fuel needs without treating estimates as proof

The rule to remember

Program fuel and estimated fuel left are guidance: they never change coupon records and never create Guide account, payroll, reimbursement, or payout entries.
