Understanding Throughput Reconciliations

Throughput reconciliation compares sales figures and other metered outgoing transactions for a given period with the metered throughput at the point of reconciliation. The comparison identifies discrepancies due to missing transactions, theft, leakage, or faulty meters.

Throughput reconciliation is optional. However, if you perform throughput reconciliation through the time period in which you begin operational reconciliation, the operational reconciliation process will be more accurate.

Throughput reconciliation compares the transactions in the system with the throughput meter readings. Throughput reconciliation does not update inventory and general ledger tables. Upon review and approval, the program updates the reconciliation status in the Bulk Product Transaction File table (F41511) and the Gain/Loss Transactions File table (F41512).
