Quick Updates¶
The Quick Updates section gives head office and site teams a single, consistent view of every day's wet-stock capture. Each day is represented by one header record per service station, to which that day's tank dips, pump/nozzle readings and payment entries are attached.
It is available in two places:
- Back Office → Operations → Quick Updates — across all sites you are scoped to.
- Station Portal → Quick Updates — limited to your own service station(s).
Both views work identically; the Station Portal version is simply filtered to the signed-in user's sites.
One record per day¶
Rather than scrolling through every individual entry, you see a clean per-day list:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Date | The business date of the capture |
| Service station | The site the day belongs to |
| Status | In progress while steps are outstanding, Complete once the day is fully captured |
| Dips | Number of tank-dip captures recorded that day |
| Confirmations | Number of confirmations (morning / evening) locked that day |
| Net gain/loss (L) | The day's total in-tank gain or loss in litres |
Select View on any row to open the day's detail.
Day detail¶
The detail view shows everything captured for that day in one place:
- Tank dips — each window (Morning / Afternoon / Evening), per tank, with volumes and photos.
- Pump / nozzle readings — opening and closing meter readings and the litres dispensed.
- Payments — the collection breakdown by method.
This makes a day's record easy to review and, where permitted, edit.
Filtering & search¶
Use the filter bar to narrow the list:
- Search — match on service station name or code.
- From / To — restrict to a date range.
- Service station — focus on a single site (back office only).
- Status — show only

Exporting¶
- Export CSV — download the filtered list of day records for reporting or audit.
- Gain / loss report — see below.
Gain / Loss report¶
The Gain / loss report calculates in-tank gains and losses from the captured dips and movements, and presents them across all sites for the selected period. This is the head-office view for spotting sites that are consistently gaining or losing stock.
- Open it from the Gain / loss report button on the Quick Updates list.
- It respects the same date-range and site filters.
- It has its own CSV export for further analysis.
What drives gain/loss
In-tank gain/loss is derived from opening stock, deliveries received, sales dispensed and the closing dip for each tank. Capturing all dips and confirmations each day (see Capture Flow & Rules) keeps these figures accurate.
