Different types of Fuel Purchase Irregularities
Here are the various scenarios for a Fuel level & spend mismatch:

2. Volume Mismatch: The volume of fuel purchased does not match the increase in the tank volume.
3. No Increase in Tank Level: The tank level remains unchanged or does not increase after a fuel purchase.
Review Flagged Transactions for a Vehicle
In the Transactions tab under the Cards category on the Fleet Dashboard, Fleet Managers can identify suspicious transactions by hovering over the red icons.
- After clicking a transaction, Fleet Managers can view details about why the transaction is flagged. They can use the integrated platform to navigate to the vehicle’s History tab to see its location and fuel level enabling further investigation.
- Mark a flagged transaction as Reviewed after verifying the Driver and transaction details. Add notes about the transaction for other Fleet Managers if required.
- Freeze the Motive Card if the Fuel level and transaction details don’t match.
- Remove the flag from a flagged transaction if you find it a legitimate purchase.
| Note: The Fuel Level & Spend Mismatch flagging is based on estimated tank size, which is calculated from past refuel events. If you find that the estimated tank size is incorrect, you can update the tank capacity in the vehicle profile. |
