titleCompany Location

If you have a Company Location to which you can transfer Fuel inventory, you need to check Track MFT Activity on the Setup tab.

You can always Enable them later if your business changes. To Disable Reporting Components, go to Tax Authority screen → Filing Packet tab. Uncheck the Status checkbox for the Reporting Component not needed, then click Save on the top of the screen. By default, the Filing Packet tab displays all Enabled Reporting Components. If you wish to see only the Disabled ones, select Disabled from the Show dropdown.
