• Use the commands in the rest of this chapter to maintain the amounts in the
allocation totalizers.
Allocations
You can allocate either dollar amounts or gallon (or litre) amounts on each
allocation number. Before you decide which units to use, consider the
following:
• The highest dollar amount you can allocate is $99,999.99. The highest
gallon (or litre) amount is 99,999.999.
• It is usually more practical to use the same units (either dollar or volume)
for all allocation numbers, so that the grand total in the PRINT
ALLOCATION printout (see below in this chapter) is meaningful and does
not mix dollar and volume subtotals.
• Gallon allocation applies to fuel sales only. Merchandise sales do not affect
gallon totalizers. Dollar allocation applies to both fuel and merchandise.
• If you specify the allocated amount in gallons, use gallons also as the units
for pump limits (defined in configuration), fill limits (entered with the
LOAD CUTOFF command), and card limits (entered with the LOAD
LIMITATION command).
• Some multi-product dispensers allow only dollar allocations, limitations,
pump fill limits, etc. Sites with this type of multiproduct dispenser must use
dollar allocation. If these sites try to use gallon allocation, transactions on
accounts with allocation will always act as if they exceeded allocation.
How to Initialize the Allocation File
Before you set up allocation numbers in the CFN3 software, you must initialize
the allocation file. Initializing the file erases all the information currently in it.
That means you begin without any cards on an allocation system.
Type: REMOVE ALLOCATION;A to initialize the allocation file.
How to Set Up Allocation Numbers
Use the command LOAD ALLOCATION or LO AL to set up the allocation
numbers and the initial dollar or gallon (or litre) amount you want allocated to
each one. For dollar allocation, precede the amount by a dollar sign. For gallon
Do not use this command after you have set up your allocation system. It erases all your allocation
information and you will have to enter it all again!
