When your Purchaser buys oil from you, many times your pumper isn't available to oversee the transfer of the crude.
​
And, while we trust our Purchasers, it's still good practice to verify them, too. πŸ˜‰

This is precisely why you should be aware of our Logic Variables feature and how they can be applied to your operations...
