Type todays date (the date you

are printing the report) at the top in
the cell next to where is says

Look in the Additional

used. Then go to Stock Codes
(sheet 3), and copy and paste the
information for each material
into the Material Description
section on SHEET 1. You will
have to add in the Amount
Used and that will calculate the
total. You will have to total all
the Materials totals.

Find the DIST and FSO

2, copy and paste them into the
DIST/FSO Employee ID section
on SHEET 1.
Erase the labor and Materials
information from the
Additional Information text
box on SHEET 2. (we do this so the
labor and materials will not be on the
first page of the 252 on SHEET 1)

The supervisor will put the lost

gas information is the correct
spots. On the lost gas sheet
(3rd page), of SHEET 1, you
will need to change the
duration from minutes to
hours.
Then, put in the Actual or
Average flow rate that
corresponds to the PSI. Check
the current gas price
The lost gas should be
calculated for you.
The total will be generated
into the Lost Gas Cost spot on
the Total Cost page of SHEET 1
The gas price may change. So make
sure to check at the beginning of every
month to make sure.
