Managing fuel loads and generating payables in X‑1 doesn’t have to be complicated. By following a few straightforward steps, you can move seamlessly from recording a fuel delivery to creating a payable that’s ready for payment. This guide walks you through the full process to help ensure accuracy and avoid downstream accounting issues.


Step 1: Add a New Fuel Load

Start by recording the fuel delivery in X‑1.

From the X‑1 Dashboard, navigate to:
Fuel Management → Fuel Inventory → Fuel Loads

Click + New Fuel Load

Enter the required fuel load details:

  • BOL (Bill of Lading) Number

  • Fuel Vendor

  • Fuel Type

  • Fuel Owner

  • Cost

  • BOL QTY Net Amount (Gallons Received)

  • Quantity Put Into Tank

Click Save

Saving the fuel load creates the foundation for your payable, so accuracy here is key.


Step 2: Create the Vendor Bill in X-1

Once the fuel load is saved, you’ll generate the vendor bill tied to that delivery.

  • Click the Checkerboard icon

  • Select Receive New

Complete the vendor bill details:

  • Vendor Name

  • Vendor Invoice Number

  • Total Invoice Amount ($)

Add a line item:

  • Select the Fuel Type (Jet A or Avgas)

  • Enter the Quantity and Price

Click Save

🧾 This step links the fuel load to Accounts Payable, allowing it to be tracked and paid correctly.


Step 3: Apply Payment to "Ready" Payable

After saving the vendor bill, X‑1 automatically creates a payable with a status of Ready.

To apply payment:

  • Navigate to Accounting → Payables

  • Locate the payable and proceed with payment as needed


✅ Tips for Success

  • Double‑check quantities, costs, and invoice amounts before saving.

  • Make sure the Vendor Invoice Number exactly matches the supplier’s invoice to avoid reconciliation issues.

  • If something looks off, correct it before applying payment to prevent rework later.
