Dual Running Reconciliation Sheet for Reel Fleets
A dual running reconciliation sheet keeps the counts for the incumbent drum and the new reel separate while both are in service. ... Ask Mingskye for a sample.
A dual running reconciliation sheet keeps the counts for the incumbent drum and the new reel separate while both are in service. It reconciles despatches, returns, losses, repairs and stocks at the warehouse, the dock and customer sites to one date per period. Mixing the two populations in a single figure hides exactly the difference the pilot is meant to measure. The sheet names the preparer and the reviewer, and any unexplained difference stays visible rather than being absorbed into a rounding line.
This page covers dual running reconciliation sheet in six sections: Treating in transit reels; Writing a pilot scope statement; Setting the pilot stop rule; Why tare weight is recorded per batch; Keeping an exclusion register; Verifying disposal volumes. Each section answers one practical question and can be read on its own.
Key facts
- In transit reels are the most common source of a disputed return rate.
- A pilot scope states what the trial covers and what it deliberately excludes.
- A stop rule names the observation that ends the trial before its planned finish.
- Tare weight is a cheap signal that a construction has changed between deliveries.
- An exclusion register lists the routes that will not switch and the reason each one stays out.
Treating in transit reels
In transit reels are the most common source of a disputed return rate.
Define the cut off time, the document that starts the transit state and the handover note that ends it. Record the count at period close.
Where a leg crosses a period boundary, show the units in a separate row. That keeps the current period figure reproducible when the late return arrives.
- Define start and end documents
- Set a period cut off time
- Show cross period units separately
Writing a pilot scope statement
A pilot scope states what the trial covers and what it deliberately excludes.
Name the lane, cable types, reel count, duration, excluded routes, observation points, stop rule and the KPI owner. State which records are kept at the warehouse and at handover.
A narrow written scope is easier to evaluate than a broad informal trial. It also prevents a favourable result on one easy lane being presented as proof for the whole network.
- Name lane, cable, count and duration
- List exclusions and the stop rule
- State the record locations
For terminology and test-method context see GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. The guidance on this page is practical handling guidance, not a test report or a certificate.
Setting the pilot stop rule
A stop rule names the observation that ends the trial before its planned finish.
Include cable damage, a repeated joint failure and a handling issue that cannot be controlled at the dock. State who can call the stop and what record is completed afterwards.
A trial without a stop rule tends to run until a convenient result appears. Writing it first protects the operator and gives the supplier a clear boundary.
- Name the triggering observations
- Name who can call the stop
- Require a completion record

Why tare weight is recorded per batch
Tare weight is a cheap signal that a construction has changed between deliveries.
Weigh a defined sample from each batch on a calibrated scale and log the result with the delivery reference. Investigate a step change before the reels reach the winding line.
The figure also feeds freight and disposal calculations. Recording it once per season leaves both uses unsupported when a reviewer asks for the source.
- Weigh a defined sample per batch
- Log against the delivery reference
- Investigate step changes before use
Keeping an exclusion register
An exclusion register lists the routes that will not switch and the reason each one stays out.
Typical entries include one way export lanes with no return partner, cable specified on a certified wooden drum and receivers unable to segregate returned reels. Each row carries a review date.
Publishing exclusions strengthens a sustainability claim. A programme that states where it does not apply is easier to defend than one that implies every despatch has already changed.
- Give every exclusion a reason and a review date
- Include contractual drum requirements
- Reference the register in ESG reporting
Verifying disposal volumes
Disposal volumes should be reconciled to a document the site already keeps.
Match collector tickets, waste transfer notes and internal stock movements for the same period. Record any gap and the likely reason rather than adjusting a figure to fit.
A verified volume becomes the denominator in the baseline worksheet. If it is uncertain, say so in the calculation note instead of presenting a precise figure.
- Match three existing document types
- Record gaps with a reason
- State uncertainty in the calculation note

Final takeaway
For dual running reconciliation sheet, Define the fields before building the dashboard and keep the pilot evidence together. Disposal volumes should be reconciled to a document the site already keeps.
