Secure code processing | This feature allows Comdata accounts to secure fuel cards with a PIN at the pump. Disabled - This option will not utilize this security feature and allow drivers to use their cards as normal. Enabled With DMD - This option will create a PIN for drivers with a Fuel Card linked. This Pin will be sent to the user linked with the card. If no driver is linked to the card, the card will function without this security feature. Enabled - This option will function similar to the above option, for all cards regardless of if they are linked to a user. This pin can be retrieved from the Comdata Fuel Card screen in the Trip number field. |

Comdata File Types
For Comdata there are different types of files that are sent over.
Fuel Transactions- For fuel transactions, we will receive an FM00092 file.
Comchecks- For Comchecks, we can receive one of two different file types.
EC00006 will show actual usage.
EC00002 will show the total given out.
If using Real Time Advances it is recomended to use the EC00006 file type.
This file type when imported runs a second process that can’t be done with the other file type to see if the Advance was given from Ditat or the Comdata portal. If it was not given from Ditat the Advance is added to the Real time advances screen as given by Admin, this allows it to be managed from Ditat.
Comcheck example
Let's look at an example if you give a driver a $1000 Comcheck today. The Driver uses $800 today and will use the other $200 tomorrow. For the EC00006 You would receive 2 Advances 1 for $800 for the amount used today, and another $200 for the amount used tomorrow. For EC00002 file you will receive one amount for $1000.
