Vessel utilisation report
The Vessel utilisation report shows how hard your vessels are working - how often each one is filled, how long it stays occupied, and how much of the period it sits empty.
Find it under Reporting → Pre-built Production & inventory reports → Vessels.
Running the report
Choose a reporting period, how to group the results, and optionally which sites to include.
Group by options:
- Occupancy - one row for each time a vessel was filled and emptied, with a timeline chart.
- Vessel - one summary row per vessel, with utilisation and empty time.
Occupancy view
Each row is a single occupancy, showing the vessel, batch, beer, when it was filled, when it was emptied, how many days it was occupied, volume in, volume out and loss.
The chart is a timeline with one lane per vessel and a block for each occupancy, colour-coded by whether it was a drink batch or an ingredient batch. This makes gaps - and overlaps - obvious at a glance.
Vessel view
Each row summarises one vessel over the period: vessel type, site, capacity, number of occupancies, number of batches, total volume through, average days occupied per fill, total days occupied, days empty and empty percentage.
Each row offers View occupancies to drill into the individual fills behind the summary.
How occupancy is worked out
- Occupancies include drink batch use, ingredient batch use and serving batch use. Volume figures are only shown for drink batch use.
- An occupancy that starts before or ends after your reporting period only counts the portion that falls inside it.
- Serving batch end times can be approximate where a stock reconciliation emptied the vessel.
- Total days occupied sums every occupancy separately, while days empty merges overlapping occupancies. A vessel with simultaneous occupancies can therefore show more days occupied than the reporting window actually contains.
