Purpose
The component encompasses:
The Silo Management System, which provides functionality for managing physical inventories in tanks by creating tank dips in the R/3 System, and
comparing those inventories at any time with the book stocks. In that way, gains and losses can always be determined, and goods movements can be
monitored.
A flexible Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) that converts volumes, masses and energy at ambient conditions (temperature, pressure, vapor pressure,
calorific value, density) into volumes, masses and energy values at standard conditions. In addition, the Quantity Conversion Interface calculates
density and heating value at standard conditions.
External programs for calculating complex oil volume correction factors (c-code routines of the American Petroleum Institute, customer-designed
programs) and natural gas compression factors (c-code routines of the American Gas Association, customer-designed programs) can be integrated with
the QCI.
The tracking of two-step plant-to-plant transfers, with a determination of profit and loss, and automatic posting of differences.
An extension of inventory management and of the material documents, so that there are several units of measure. As part of that, several standardized
quantities can be entered in documents, and inventories for those units of measure can be updated.

Oil-Specific Data in the Material Master

Definition
Material-specific data that is required in the oil and gas industry for parallel inventory management, that is, inventory management in several units of measure
for excise duty handling and for stock transfers between plants.
Structure
You can store the following oil-specific data in the material master record:
Base unit of measure
Unit of measure group
The unit of measure group is a group of units of measure that is assigned to a material at plant level and that enables inventory management in multiple units
of measure for the material.
You can define unit of measure groups and their entries (units of measure) in Customizing under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) HPM
(Hydrocarbon Product Management) Oil & Gas-Specific Units of Measure and Additional Stockkeeping Define additional stockkeeping units of
measure .
If stock has already posted for the material, it is not possible to change the unit of measure group in the material master.
Conversion group
The conversion group contains:
A connection to external routines that are required for Oil and Gas quantity conversion
The product type:
Crude oil
Finished products
Chemicals (generic oil products)
Lubricants
Liquid gases (liquefied petroleum gas/natural gas liquid = LPG/NGL)
Asphalt/bitumen
Natural gas
Liquefied natural gas = LNG
Raw material
Water
Industrial aromatic hydrocarbons
The standard conditions for the base density and base calorific value
The control indicators for quantity conversion
The tolerances for differences between manual entries and values calculated by the system
PUBLIC
Page 3 of 36
The conversion group is defined at plant level. In that way, the material is classified for all plants as an HPM material, which means the conversion group has
to be maintained for all plants for the material.
You can create conversion groups in Customizing under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) HPM (Hydrocarbon Product Management)
Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Define conversion group and external function module settings .
If stock has already been posted for the material, it is not possible to change the conversion group in the material master record.
Air buoyancy factor
The air buoyancy factor:
Is required in some situations for oil quantity conversion between volume and mass
Is used during oil quantity conversion to correct the calculated base density to account for the difference between the density in a vacuum and at normal
air pressure. It is subtracted from the base density before the base density is multiplied by the volume to calculate the apparent mass (weight).
Fixed density
For a material defined as a chemical product (the product type) in the conversion group, a density must be maintained in the material master. That fixed
density is used during the oil quantity conversion for calculations between mass units and volume units. The density in this case is a density at 15 C/20 C or
60F.
Thermal expansion coefficient
The thermal expansion coefficient describes the way a material expands during changes in temperature. A fixed density is assigned to oil products that are
entered as chemicals (the product type) in the system. The fixed density and the thermal expansion coefficient are used during oil quantity conversion to
convert volumes into values at standard temperature. The thermal expansion coefficient is directly connected to a standard temperature (15 C, 20 C, 60 F).
Which one it is depends on the conversion group.
Excise duty group
The excise duty group is required for determining the excise duty rate. If the material is relevant for tax purposes, an excise duty tax group has to be assigned
to it. From a tax point of view, all materials of an excise duty group are handled the same.
You can create excise duty groups in Customizing under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) TDP (Tariffs, Duties and Permits) Global
Settings Parameter Definitions Set excise duty group .
If stock has already been posted for the material, it is not possible to change the excise duty tax group in the material master record.
Oil content of the material
This value indicates:
The oil content of the material in percent
The percentage of the material moved that is subject to excise tax
Customs tariff number
You can enter a material-dependent customs tariff number and store it in the system for informational purposes.
Plant-to-plant stock transfer indicator
The transfer indicator specifies the plant-to-plant transfer. There are three different types of plant-to-plant transfer:
Plant-to-plant transfer according to the SAP standard
Plant-to-plant transfer with an added function for updating transfer data records for statistical purposes
IS-Oil plant-to-plant transfer with a gain/loss calculation and posting

1.2 Oil Quantity Conversion

Use
Oil and oil products are bulk products in liquid form that are processed and shipped in large quantities by the oil industry. Even the smallest fluctuations in
temperature can result in considerable fluctuations in volume, and as a result, to significant fluctuations in value.
Because the measured volume of an oil product is temperature-dependent, volume correction and density correction are required, because the density of
material is defined as the relation between mass and volume.
For correcting volumes and density, in addition to the SAP Standard quantity conversion, there is an oil quantity conversion. It allows volumes at ambient
temperature and densities at test temperature to be converted into densities, volumes and masses at standard temperature. The oil quantity conversion is thus
used to convert the quantity of an oil product into various units of measure.
From a technical point of view, the oil quantity conversion uses external c-code programs, which are accessed through an interface within the Quantity
Conversion Interface (QCI). The c-code programs are licensed to SAP customers by The American Petroleum Institute (API).
Prerequisites
Definition of Units of Measure and Dimensions
The following units of measure are used for the oil quantity conversion:
Mass units of measure
Volume units of measure
Density units of measure
You can define the volume units of measurement for a specific temperature.
The L15 unit of measure is defined as "liters at a temperature of 15 Celsius".

Density units of measure can be defined for a specific temperature. The following density types are allowed for liquids:
API gravity (no dimension)
Relative density (no dimension)
Absolute density (SI unit: kg/m)
If no density unit is specified, the system automatically uses the kg/m SI unit. Density units of measure for API gravity and relative density are not
necessary, because those units are dimensionless as relations of density units. However, dimensionless units of measure can be defined and used for
documentation purposes.
PUBLIC
Page 5 of 36
For liquid quantity calculation, pressure parameters can be sent to the Quantity Conversion Interface. Those parameters can be used in customer-specific
functions.
Material Master
You define a base unit of measure (stockkeeping unit) for the material in the material master record. That is the unit of measure for the stock quantity (base
quantity) in the system. Because that base quantity also determines the valuation of the material, it is very important to choose a standardized unit of
measure as the base unit of measure.
In addition, you can also save a relation between two units of measure in the system as conversion factors. The conversion factors are used for all planning
calculations for a material, as long as the real quantities from goods movements are not known. The unit of measure relation for each material is a subdefinition of the unit of measurement definition. The unit of measurement definition is valid globally for all the materials.
You can also save oil-specific data in the material master record (see also
Oil-Specific Data in the Material Master)
Assigning a Conversion Group
The Quantity Conversion Interface is activated for a material when a conversion group is assigned to a material in the material master. The conversion group
also defines which specific external functions are used to calculate the material quantities and base parameters (base density, base calorific value).
!--a11y-->

Definition
Conversion routines are required for oil and gas quantity conversion. The conversion routines serve as a unified basis for standardized calculations of
measured oil liquids or natural gas quantities, irrespective of their origin, their specific location or their commonly-used or legally-required units of measure.
Conversion routines can be written in a number of programming languages. The conversion routines of the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the
American Gas Association (AGA) are written in the computer language C ("C routines").
API Conversion Routines
API conversion routines are required for oil quantity conversion. They were orgininally based on API/ASTM tables, which were defined for specific density and
temperature values. The API/ASTM tables were issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
and the Institute of Petroleum (IP).
The "table concept" comes from the fact that historically, the dependencies used in density correction factors and volume correction factors came from the
temperature in tables (API/ASTM tables). International and national standards now exist that are based on implementation rules for computer programs. Those
rules are the so-called primary standard; the computer programs are the so-called secondary standard.
The API conversion routines are used to determine the density at standard temperature (= 15C, 20C or 60F). Using the base density, you can read the
volume correction factor for a specific material temperature. The volume correction factor, when multiplied by the volume quantity, corrects the volume data to
reflect material volumes at 15 C, 20C, or 60F (standard temperature).

Default Values for Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion

Use
To support the oil and gas quantity conversion, the system uses default values for the relevant quantity conversion factors (for example, density, temperature,
pressure, and chemical analysis data).
Enjoy transaction O3DEFAULTS used for creating the default values for oil and gas quantity conversion replaces the old transaction,
O3C1. However, you can still use transaction O3C1 without any functional limitations. The documentation that follows describes the new
transaction, O3DEFAULTS.
Transaction O3DEFAULTS allows a flexible number of default values to be entered. You can define the default values at plant, storage location or batch level
per material, day, and time. The system always reads the default values from bottom to top, that means that the system first uses specific values at batch or
storage location level before using general values at plant level. If the entry of a time is possible in transactions with oil and gas quantity conversion, the
system selects the default value that is closest to that day and time.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to enter default values for oil and gas quantity conversion using transaction O3DEFAULTS, you have to make the following settings in
Customizing for the Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) :
HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Select QCI default table .
HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Define reading group .
HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Define conversion group and external function
module settings . You can now assign an HPM parameter group (reading group) to the conversion group.
HPM
HPM-Specific Settings for Goods Movements Maintain settings for goods movements (transaction MIGO). Here, you can determine
whether the system uses the document date or the posting date to determine the default values for the oil quantity conversion for goods movements
(transaction MIGO).
Features
The HPM parameter group (reading group) allows a more flexible entry of default values. You define the reading group in Customizing. The reading group
contains a sub-quantity of all possible parameters that are relevant for quantity conversion. You can create default values for those parameters.
You can assign exactly one reading group to each conversion group. When default values are created with transaction O3DEFAULTS and when a material is
entered, the system determines a conversion group from the material master record, and the assigned reading group from Customizing. The default values of
the reading group are defaulted, and can be changed, or they have to be accepted depending on the specific Customizing settings.
A reading group can be set in such a way, for example, that default values can be entered for 7 parameters in Customizing because they are
PUBLIC

required for the calculation. However, only one of the values is displayed in dialog mode (meaning, in transaction O3DEFAULTS) and then has
to be updated.

1.3 Gas Quantity Conversion

Use
In contrast to liquids, for gases, the pressure under which the gas is kept plays a decisive role in the gas quantity conversion. As a result, the volume of
natural gas is dependent on the temperature and the pressure under which a specific quantity of gas is held. Standard conditions thus always contain
information on the temperature and a pressure value for a volume.
For pressures that are smaller than four times standard air pressure, and for temperatures smaller than approximately 30 C, natural gas quantities can be
standardized to standard conditions using simple conversion formulas (the ideal gas law).
If natural gas is transported by pipeline under high pressure, meaning at pressures of up to 120 bar and more, a correction of that simple equation is
necessary, because differences of up to 30 % are possible.
That correction is carried out by external programs - just as for liquids. The Quantity Conversion Interface was enhanced so that c-code routines of the
American Gas Association (AGA) can be included in the calculation. Those correction factors (compression factors) are the result of complex calculations,
which - under specific conditions - can contain the full chemical analysis of the components of a natural gas. That analysis data can be entered in the R/3
System as default values for the gas quantity conversion, and can also be entered in dialog mode.
Prerequisites
Definition of Units of Measure and Dimensions
The following units of measurement are of importance for natural gas quantity conversion:
Weight (mass) units of measurement
Volume units of measure
Energy units of measurement
Calorific value units of measurement
The SM3 volume unit of measurement is defined as follows: "Cubic meter at a temperature of 15 Celsius and a pressure of 101.325 kPa
(Kilopascal)".
The following density types are allowed for natural gas quantity conversions:
Relative density (with respect to air at standard conditions, dimensionless)
Absolute density
For density units of measurement, temperature and pressure values can also be defined, analogous to the example for volume unit of measure SM3.
The following calorific value types are allowed for natural gas quantity conversions:
Volume base (dimension: energy/volume)
PUBLIC
Page 11 of 36
Mass base (dimension: energy/mass)

Molar base (dimension: energy/Mole)
For volume-based calorific value units of measurement, the volume-relevant temperature and pressure values can also be defined. In addition, the combustion
temperature, the combustion pressure, and the heating value class can also be defined for a unit of that kind.
The combustion temperature, the combustion pressure, and the heating value class can be defined for mass-based and mole-based calorific values.
For energy units, the combustion temperature, the combustion pressure, and the heating value class can be defined.
Material Master
You define a base unit of measure (stockkeeping unit) for the material in the material master record. This is the unit of measure for the stock quantity (base
quantity) in the system. Because that base quantity also determines the valuation of the material, it is very important to choose a standardized unit of
measure as the base unit of measure.
In addition, you can also save a relation between two units of measure in the system as conversion factors. The conversion factors are used for all planning
calculations for a material, as long as the real quantities from goods movements are not known. The unit of measure relation for each material is a subdefinition of the unit of measurement definition. The unit of measurement definition is valid globally for all materials.
You can also save oil-specific data in the material master record (see also
Oil-Specific Data in the Material Master)
Assigning a Conversion Group
The Quantity Conversion Interface is activated for the material when a conversion group is assigned to a material in the material master. The conversion group
also defines which specific external functions are used to calculate the material quantities and base parameters (base density, base calorific value).

measured oil liquids or natural gas quantities, irrespective of their origin, their specific location or their commonly-used or legally-required units of measure.
Conversion routines can be written in a number of programming languages. The conversion routines of the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the
American Gas Association (AGA) are written in the computer language C ("C routines").
API Conversion Routines
API conversion routines are required for oil quantity conversion. They were orgininally based on API/ASTM tables, which were defined for specific density and
temperature values. The API/ASTM tables were issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
and the Institute of Petroleum (IP).
The "table concept" comes from the fact that historically, the dependencies used in density correction factors and volume correction factors came from the
temperature in tables (API/ASTM tables). International and national standards now exist that are based on implementation rules for computer programs. Those
rules are the so-called primary standard; the computer programs are the so-called secondary standard.
The API conversion routines are used to determine the density at standard temperature (= 15C, 20C or 60F). Using the base density, you can read the
volume correction factor for a specific material temperature. The volume correction factor, when multiplied by the volume quantity, corrects the volume data to
reflect material volumes at 15 C, 20C, or 60F (standard temperature).

Default Values for Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion

Use
To support the oil and gas quantity conversion, the system uses default values for the relevant quantity conversion factors (for example, density, temperature,
pressure, and chemical analysis data).
Enjoy transaction O3DEFAULTS used for creating the default values for oil and gas quantity conversion replaces the old transaction,
O3C1. However, you can still use transaction O3C1 without any functional limitations. The documentation that follows describes the new
transaction, O3DEFAULTS.
Transaction O3DEFAULTS allows a flexible number of default values to be entered. You can define the default values at plant, storage location or batch level
per material, day, and time. The system always reads the default values from bottom to top, that means that the system first uses specific values at batch or
storage location level before using general values at plant level. If the entry of a time is possible in transactions with oil and gas quantity conversion, the
system selects the default value that is closest to that day and time.
Prerequisites
In order to be able to enter default values for oil and gas quantity conversion using transaction O3DEFAULTS, you have to make the following settings in
Customizing for the Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) :
HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Select QCI default table .
HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Define reading group .
HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration Define conversion group and external function
module settings . You can now assign an HPM parameter group (reading group) to the conversion group.
HPM
HPM-Specific Settings for Goods Movements Maintain settings for goods movements (transaction MIGO). Here, you can determine
whether the system uses the document date or the posting date to determine the default values for the oil quantity conversion for goods movements
(transaction MIGO).
Features
The HPM parameter group (reading group) allows a more flexible entry of default values. You define the reading group in Customizing. The reading group
contains a sub-quantity of all possible parameters that are relevant for quantity conversion. You can create default values for those parameters.
You can assign exactly one reading group to each conversion group. When default values are created with transaction O3DEFAULTS and when a material is
entered, the system determines a conversion group from the material master record, and the assigned reading group from Customizing. The default values of
the reading group are defaulted, and can be changed, or they have to be accepted depending on the specific Customizing settings.
PUBLIC
Page 13 of 36
A reading group can be set in such a way, for example, that default values can be entered for 7 parameters in Customizing because they are
required for the calculation. However, only one of the values is displayed in dialog mode (meaning, in transaction O3DEFAULTS) and then has
to be updated.

Features
The following conversion modes exist in the system:
The automatic conversion mode initiates oil and gas conversion in the background mode. That means that the
Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion Dialog Box is not visible, and that the system automatically uses default values for quantity conversion parameters. That
reduces the time required for processing the transaction.
In semi-automatic conversion mode, the oil and gas conversion is carried out in the background mode using default values (as in automatic conversion
mode). However, the results are displayed in the dialog box, and you can manually change them.
The manual conversion mode is displayed as a dialog box, but prior to it being displayed, it does not carry out any calculations. You can enter the
quantity conversion parameters and the quantity.
The semi-manual conversion mode accesses the dialog box before any calculations have taken place. You can enter quantity conversion parameters,
but you cannot enter quantities.
In Enjoy transactions with oil and gas conversion, all modes are handled in the same way, except the semi-manual conversion mode. In the semi-manual
conversion mode, quantities displayed using the

1.4 Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in the Purchasing Cycle

Use
Oil and gas quantity conversions within the purchasing cycle are always carried out at the actual time of the creation of the goods movement. The results of
the oil and gas quantity conversion are updated in the material documents that are created by the system during the goods movement.
Oil and gas quantity conversion is not integrated in the material master record, the purchase contract, and the purchase order, because the values are only
planned values, and the actual conversion factors (for example, density, temperature) are only known at the time of the goods movement.
Integration

1.4.1 Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in Goods Movements

Use
Oil and gas quantity conversion is carried out when a material document is created for a goods movement (goods receipt or goods issue).
Goods movements can either be "external" movements (goods receipts from external procurement, goods issues for customer orders) or "internal" movements
(goods receipts from production, withdrawals for inner-company use, stock transfers, and other transfers).
Activities
Activating the Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion
You activate the conversion whenever you use an HIM material and enter the document quantity.
Additional Document Quantities
The system calculates the base quantity in the material document using the oil and gas quantity conversion, and saves it there. In addition to the base
quantity, the quantities in the units of measure are calculated that are defined in the unit of measure group (see also
Oil-Specific Data in the Material Master). The system expands the list of units of measure to be calculated.
In addition to the units of measure defined in the unit of measure group, units of measure are copied from the purchase contract and from the purchase order.
The system searches the purchase contract or the purchase order for units of measure that are neither in the unit of measure group nor are defined as base
units of measure or as stockkeeping units of measure. If an additional unit of measure is found, the corresponding quantity is calculated in that unit of
measure in the oil and gas quantity conversion.
Additional Stock Quantities
Stocks are managed in the base unit of measure (stockkeeping unit). For an HIM material, the stock quantities are also maintained in the units of measure of
the unit of measure group. In the stock overview, you can display the additional stock quantities, which are available at plant, storage location, batch and
special stock levels.
Conversion Mode
Depending on how the
Conversion Mode, is set, in "old" transactions, the system carries out the calculation of the additional quantities either in dialog mode or as a background job.
You can use the conversion mode to control whether or not the quantities can be manually overwritten.
In Enjoy transactions, all modes other than the semi-manual mode are treated the same. In the semi-manual conversion mode, you cannot change the
quantities that are displayed using the oil and gas conversion subscreen.
Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion
The
Oil Quantity Conversion or the Gas Quantity Conversion is used for calculating the additonal quantities. Those functions calculate quantities based on the
definitions in Customizing under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion
Interface (QCI) Configuration , and based on the settings of the units of measure in the material master.
For liquid HIM materials, additionally, a density and volume correction is carried out based on density and temperature values. For gaseous HIM materials
(natural gas), a density, calorific and volume correction is carried out based on density, calorific, temperature, and pressure values.
In "old" transactions, the creation, processing and display of additional quantities and quantity conversion factors is carried out using the
Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion Dialog Box; in Enjoy transactions, the Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion Subscreen is used.
Defaults Values
In support of oil and gas quantity conversion, the system uses
Default values for the relevant quantity conversion factors.
You can define the default values at plant, storage location or batch level per material, day, and time. The system always reads the default values from bottom
to top, that means that the system first uses special values at batch or storage location level before using general values at plant level.
You can use the following transactions to enter default values:

1.4.2 Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in Physical Inventory

Use
The oil and gas quantity conversion is carried out when a physical inventory count is made.
Activities
You activate the conversion by using an HIM material and entering the physical inventory quantity.
Additional Stock Quantities
Stocks are managed in the base unit of measure (stockkeeping unit). For an HIM material, the system additionally maintains the stock quantities in the units
of measure of the unit of measure group. The additional stock quantities are available at plant, storage location, batch, and special stock levels.
During physical inventory, you compare the posted book quantity with the counted quantity that was entered. The system converts the count quantity into the
base unit of measure and compares it with the book amount in base unit of measure. The difference quantity between the book quantity and the count quantity
is saved in a goods movement document.
When an HIM material is used, the conversion of the count quantity into base unit of measure is carried out using the oil and gas quantity conversion. The
book quantity is listed in the base unit of measure and also converted into the units of measure of the unit of measure group, and saved. The count quantities
are compared with the stock quantities stored at plant, storage location, batch and special stock levels and are saved in the material document of the goods
movement as an appendix.

1.6 IS-Oil Bills of Material in the Sales Cycle

Definition
IS-Oil bills of material (BOMs):
Are bills of material that are composed of a bill of material header and BOM components
Are characterized by the fact that pricing in the order and in the billing document is at BOM header level, but in the goods issue, is at BOM component
level.
A material master record has to be created for each material in the bill of material.
BOM header material:
Super 98
BOM component 1:
Gasoline
BOM component 2:
Octane
BOM component 3:
Additive
PUBLIC
Page 24 of 36
Use
A high percentage of the products sold in the oil industry are blended products. A refinery sells, for example, unleaded "super" gasoline to various oil
companies. The refinery stores the unleaded super gasoline and blends (depending on the customers preferences) a special additive into the product.
Blending takes place during loading. Stocks are maintained in the system for the unleaded super gasoline and the additive, but not for the product that is
actually delivered.
You can use an IS-Oil bill of material to maintain the blended products in the R/3 System.

1.6.1 Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion with IS-Oil BOMs

Purpose
The following describes how you can represent the sale of a blended product in the system, and in which Sales and Distribution documents the oil and gas
quantity conversion is carried out.
Prerequisites
The item category determines the characteristics and functions of a bill of material in the sales cycle. When creating a bill of material item in an SD document,
you have to choose an item category for each item. The item category determines, for example, whether the item is relevant for:
Pricing
Delivery
Billing
In order to be able to activate quantity summation for IS-Oil bills of material at header level, the corresponding item categories have to be set. You can carry
out all the required settings in SD-Customizing by choosing Sales
Sales Documents Sales Document Item Define Item Categories. You can find additional information on item categories in the Implementation Guide.
Process flow
Order
The system does not carry out an oil and gas quantity conversion in the order, because no goods movement has taken place.
The order contains the BOM header material. The system uses it to determine the price.
The bill of material is broken down in the order into its components. In contrast to the components, the BOM header material is not relevant for goods
movements.
Delivery
The oil and gas quantity conversion is carried out in the delivery at component level. The system uses the oil and gas quantity conversion to calculate the
base quantity per component. In addition to the base quantity, the quantities are calculated in the units of measure of the unit of measure group. The list of
units of measure to be used for calculation is extended.
In addition to the units of measure that are defined in the unit of measure group, units of measure are copied from the contract or order. The system searches
the contract or order for units of measure that are not in the unit of measure group nor are defined as base unit of measure (stockkeeping unit), volumes, or
weight units. If an additional unit of measure is found, the corresponding quantity is calculated in that unit of measure in the oil and gas quantity conversion.
After the system has carried out oil and gas quantity conversion at component level, it sums up all the quantities of the BOM components in the relevant units
of measure, and saves that sum at header level. If the unit of measure groups of the header material and the BOM components differ, the system extends the
list of units of measure to be used for calculation to the header level.

Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in the Delivery
Goods Issue
The system copies the additional quantities that were saved with the delivery into the material document for the goods issue. Thus, the goods issue takes
place at component level.
Billing
The system does not carry out any quantity conversions during billing, but rather uses the additional quantities of the BOM header material which are saved in
the delivery. Pricing in the billing document is thus based on the total of the quantities of the BOM components.

1.7 Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in TD

Use
Transportation and distribution of bulk products (TD - Transportation and Distribution) consists of three broad areas:
Scheduling
Bulk product loading
Delivery confirmation
The oil and gas quantity conversion is integrated in the following areas:
Loading confirmation
Delivery confirmation
During scheduling, no oil and gas quantity conversion takes place, because the values are only planned values.

1.7.1 Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in the Loading

Confirmation
Use
Oil and gas quantity conversion is carried out when a loading confirmation is created or changed.
Activities
You activate the conversion by:
Using an HIM material, and
Entering a loaded quantity, or
Entering a quantity that was already in a compartment before loading (
Left-on-Vehicle, Prior-to-Load, and Returns)
See also:
Creating/Changing a Loading Confirmation
Additional Loaded Quantities
The system calculates the base quantity in the loading confirmation using the oil and gas quantity conversion, and stores it there. In addition to the base
quantity, the quantities are calculated in the units of measure of the unit of measure group.
The system updates the quantities at material/compartment level.
Conversion Mode
During the shipment and distribution of bulk products, it often occurs that the material is loaded from one storage area into several compartments. Because
normally for that series of loading processes, the same default values are valid for the oil and gas quantity conversion, they only have to be entered when
product is loaded into the first compartment. The system automatically uses the date for the subsequent loading processes. In that way, the time required for
entering data is reduced.
The
The oil and gas quantity conversion is carried out either as a background job or in the normal dialog processing mode using the
Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion Dialog Box.
You have the option of entering the material temperature and the temperature unit in the loading confirmation for each item. If values were entered, the system
will automatically use those values for oil and gas quantity conversion.

Conversion Mode
The system carries out the percentual calculation of the additional quantities in the delivery confirmation and does so by referencing the loaded quantity in the
background job. But you can still access and change the values calculated.
The
The oil and gas quantity conversion for the delivery confirmation is carried out as a background job.
During the delivery confirmation, the system uses the values that were already in the loading confirmation as defaults for the oil and gas quantity conversion.
In that way, the time required for entering data is reduced.
If the values for the oil and gas quantity conversion are identical in the delivery confirmation and the loading confirmation, the delivered quantities are
determined as a proportion of the loaded quantities. The system thus does not recalculate the values. In that way, the same result is achieved, but the
processing time is reduced.
The quantities calculated in addition to the delivery confirmation are automatically saved with the delivery confirmation. You can then access or change the
data using the display or change mode in the delivery confirmation.

1.8 Calculation of Base Sediment and Water

Use
Most crude oil has a certain percentage of base sediment (sand, etc.) and water. In order to obtain a correct volume, those portions have to be calculated.
The calculation of base sediment and water takes place when goods movements of crude oil are made.
Activities
Activating the Base Sediment and Water Calculation
You can activate a material for calculation purposes by:
Entering a conversion group in the material master, to which the Crude oil product type is assigned (see also
Oil-Specific Data in the Material Master).
Entering the document quantity.
Conversion Mode
Oil Quantity Conversion
The
Oil Quantity Conversion is used to calculate additional quantities. Those functions calculate quantities based on the definitions in Customizing under Industry
Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) HPM Petroleum Measurement Standards Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) Configuration , and on how the
units of measure are set in the material master.
For liquid HIM materials, additionally, a density and volume correction is carried out based on density and temperature values.
In the Oil Quantity Conversion Dialog Box for quantity calculations for crude oil, you can also enter the following information:
Percentage of water and base sediment (volume percentage)
A meter correction factor, which adjusts inaccuracies in the recalibration
The system takes the "uncorrected" quantity from the transaction and converts it into units of measure in the unit of measure group, taking into account the
percentage of water and base sediment and using the meter correction factor.

1.9 Two-Step Plant-to-Plant Transfers with Gains and Losses

Use
In a company, goods movements do not only take place in the form of goods receipts and goods issues. Dependent on the organizational form of the company
(for example, one using decentralized stock) and on the sales and marketing policies of the company, internal stock transfers may be necessary.
Stock transfers can take place at three different levels:
Stock transfers from company code to company code
Stock transfers from plant to plant, for example:
Simple stock transfers from plant to plant in one step, in which the issued quantity of the issuing plant has to be the same as the received quantity at
the receiving plant.
Complex two-step transfers from plant to plant using a stock transport order which functions as an internal purchase order for the receiving plant and
as an internal order for the issuing plant.
Stock transfers from storage location to storage location (in the plant).
This documentation only describes the two-step plant-to-plant stock transfer, because that area is the only area within the stock transfers that differs from the
SAP Standard System.
Features
Two-Step Plant-to-Plant Transfer in the R/3 Standard System
When you carry out a two-step stock transfer from plant to plant, you first post the removal from storage from the issuing plant. After the stock removal
posting, the quantity of product to be transferred is put in the stock in transit (with a stock transport order), or, in the stock in transfer of the receiving plant
(without a stock transport order); but it is cannot yet be used.
In a second step, you post the placement in storage at the receiving plant. Only then is the transaction complete, and the quantity transferred can now be
used.
In the Standard System, you can carry out a two-step stock transfer from plant to plant:
Using a stock transport order for goods issue postings in shipping (replenishment delivery)
Using a stock transport order for goods issue postings in inventory management
Without a stock transport order
Tracking Stock Transfers in the R/3 Oil & Gas System (Downstream)
For stock transfers in the Standard System, it is only possible to assign individual goods issues and goods receipts to physical goods movements by using
the stock transport order. As a result, the system does not calculate gains and losses.
In the oil and gas industry, changes in quantity can, however, occur when bulk materials are moved (for example crude oil, fuels, etc.). That can occur, for
example, when the material temperature at the receiving plant is different than the material temperature at the issuing plant, and the material is thus subject to
density changes during the shipment.
To be able to monitor goods movements and to be able to determine any changes in value of the material that may arise (gains and losses), when activation
occurs, the system tracks the goods movements of the material (see also
Activating Goods Movement Recordings). The system automatically assigns a tracking number to the goods issue and goods receipt documents. You can use
the tracking number to track the goods movements. The system automatically carries out the gains and loss postings.

1.9.1 Stock Transfer Tracking in Goods Movements

Use
You can track the goods movements for materials for the following stock transfer processes:
Two-step plant-to-plant transfers with stock transport orders for goods issue postings in shipping (replenishment delivery).
Two-step plant-to-plant transfers with stock transport orders for goods issue postings in inventory management.
Two-step plant-to-plant transfers without a stock transport order.
Material valuation plays an important role in the stock transfer processes that were mentioned above. There are different types of material valuation:
Materials valuated at plant level
Split-valuated materials
Materials Valuated at Plant Level
Materials which are valuated at plant level have a single material price and valuation record, which is valid for the entire material stock within a plant. You can
display the valuation record in the material master record (accounting view).
During a goods receipt, the valuation record is updated at the receiving plant. Because only one valuation record exists, entering the receiving plant is
sufficient for determining the valuation record. As a result, using the processes listed above, you can transfer the materials valuated at plant level, and you
can track the materials transferred.
Split-Valuated Materials
Split-valuated materials have several material prices within one plant. The valuation type defines that the material will be split valuated, as well as the criteria
that is used to valuate the stocks. You can display the valuation type in the material master record (the accounting view).
TDP materials are split-valuated in order to be able to determine the untaxed and the taxed parts of the material. In order to be able to track the stock transfer
with split-valuated material, you have to carry out the two-step plant-to-plant transfer with a stock transport order. Without a stock transport order, the two-step
plant-to-plant transfer is not possible for split-valuated materials.

1.9.1.1 Goods Movements with a Stock Transport Order

Purpose
Using this process, you can carry out a two-step plant-to-plant transfer with a stock transport order. This process consists of the following procedures for splitvaluated material:
1. Stock transport order
2. Goods issue at the issuing plant
3. Goods receipt at the receiving plant
Prerequisites
If you want to transfer a split-valuated material, you have to create a stock transport order.
Process flow
Stock Transport Order
You use the stock transport order to request a stock transfer. When you have activated the material you want to transfer for recording of the goods movement,
( Activating Goods Movements Recordings), the system automatically assigns a tracking number.
You can display the tracking number in the stock transport order at item level. The system then automatically copies the number into all documents that
reference the stock transport order.
2. Goods Issue at the Issuing Plant
You can either post the goods issue at the issuing plant in inventory management, or you can process it with a replenishment delivery in shipping. In
both options, you reference the stock transport order during the goods receipt. The system copies the tracking number, and you can track the goods
movement.
At the same time, you activate the Oil Quantity Conversion or the Gas Quantity Conversion when you use an HIM material and enter the
PUBLIC
Page 30 of 36
document quantity ( Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in Goods Movements).

The goods issue has the following effects in the system:
The system creates a material document for the movement. The tracking number and the additional document quantities that were calculated in the
oil and gas quantity conversion are at item level.
The system creates an accounting document for the movement. The valuation record in the receiving plant is updated, based on the material price in
the issuing plant.
The quantity is posted out of the issuing plant, that means that the available stock is reduced.
In the receiving plant, the quantity is then listed in stock, but not in the available stock; rather, in the stock in transfer.
3. Goods Receipt at the Receiving Plant
If the goods issue is posted to inventory management, you post the goods receipt to the receiving plant with reference to the stock transport order.
If the goods issue was posted in shipping, you can make reference to the stock transport order or the replenishment delivery during the goods receipt.
For all the options, reference is made to the stock transport order, so that you can track the goods movement using the tracking number.
At the same time, you activate the oil and gas quantity conversion function by using an HIM material and entering the document quantity ( Oil and Gas
Quantity Conversion in Goods Movements).

The goods receipt has various different effects in the system, which are dependent on the relationship between the goods receipt quantity to the goods
issue quantity, and on the "delivery completed" indicator ( Completing Goods Movements Recordings).
The following situations can occur during a goods receipt:
Goods receipt quantity is smaller or the same as the goods issue quantity; the "delivery completed" indicator is not set
oil and gas quantity conversion are located at item level.
The system does not create an accounting document.
The quantity is posted from the stock in transfer to the available stock at the receiving plant. That means:
The stock in transfer is reduced
The available stock increases
The goods receipt quantity is smaller than the goods issue quantity; the "delivery complete" indicator is set
The system creates an accounting document, in which the stock loss is recorded (the excise duty loss can also be recorded). The valuation record for
the material at the receiving plant is updated (reduced) to reflect the loss quantities.
The stock in transfer is automatically set to zero.
The available stock increases at the receiving plant.
Goods receipt quantity is larger than the goods issue quantity; "delivery complete" indicator is not set
The system creates an accounting document, in which the increase in stock and the increase in excise duty are recorded. The valuation record of the
material at the receiving plant is updated (increased) to reflect the increased quantity.
Goods receipt quantity is larger than the goods issue quantity; the "delivery complete" indicator is set
!--a11y-->
1.9.1.2 Goods Movements without a Stock Transport Order

Purpose
In contrast to split-valuated materials, you can post materials valuated at plant level to another plant without a stock transport order.
The two-step plant-to-plant transfer without a stock transport order consists of the following processes for material valuated at plant level:
1. Goods issue at the issuing plant
2. Goods receipt at the receiving plant
PUBLIC
Page 31 of 36
Process Flow
Goods Issue at the Issuing Plant
You post stock removals from the issuing plant in inventory management. When you have activated the material for purposes of goods movement recording (
Activating Goods Movements Recordings), the system automatically assigns a tracking number to it.
At the same time, you activate the Oil Quantity Conversion or the Gas Quantity Conversion when you use an HIM material and enter the document
quantity ( Oil and Gas Quantity Conversion in Goods Movements).

The goods issue has the following effects in the system:
The system creates an accounting document for the movement. The valuation record in the receiving plant is updated, based on the material price in
the issuing plant.
The quantity is posted out of the issuing plant, that means that the available stock is reduced.
At the receiving plant, the quantity is already listed in the stock, however, not in the available stock, but in the stock in transfer.
2. Goods Receipt at the Receiving Plant
When you post the stock to the receiving plant with reference to the material document of the goods issue, the system automatically copies the
tracking number, and you can track the goods movement.
At the same time, you activate the oil and gas quantity conversion function by using an HIM material and entering the document quantity ( Oil and Gas
Quantity Conversion in Goods Movements).

The goods receipt has various different effects in the system, which are dependent on the relationship between the goods receipt quantity to the goods
issue quantity, and on the "delivery completed" indicator ( Completing Goods Movements Recordings).
The following situations can occur during a goods receipt:
Goods receipt quantity is smaller or the same as the goods issue quantity; the "delivery completed" indicator is not set
The system does not create an accounting document.
The quantity is posted from the stock in transfer to the available stock of the receiving plant. That means:
The stock in transfer is reduced
The available stock increases
The goods receipt quantity is smaller than the goods issue quantity; the "delivery complete" indicator is set
The system creates an accounting document, in which the stock loss is recorded (the excise duty loss can also be recorded). The valuation record for
the material at the receiving plant is updated (reduced) to reflect the loss quantities.
The stock in transfer is automatically set to zero
Goods receipt quantity is larger than the goods issue quantity; the "delivery complete" indicator is not set

!--a11y-->
1.9.2 Gain and Loss Postings

PUBLIC
Page 32 of 36
Use
The gains and losses for goods issues and goods receipts that are linked to a tracking number are defined as follows:
Stock increase/stock loss = goods issue quantity - goods receipt quantity of all goods receipts
If the result is negative, meaning that the goods issue quantity is smaller than the goods receipt quantity for all goods receipts, the system creates a gain
posting.
If the result is positive, meaning that the goods issue quantity is larger than the goods receipt quantity for all goods receipts, the system creates a loss
posting.
As soon as a gain or loss occurs, the valuation record for the material is updated to reflect the increase in quantity or the loss in quantity at the receiving plant.
Prerequisites
You define the basis for calculation for the gain and loss determination in a Customizing table. The following options exist as a basis for calculation for the
gains and losses:
The material price at the receiving plant
The material price at the issuing plant at the time at which the gain and loss occurs
The material price at the issuing plant at the time of the goods issue
The condition record for the material
You can make those settings in Customizing under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream)
HPM Two-Step Plant-to-Plant Transfers Maintain two-step transfer control .
You can find additional information on pricing for gain and loss postings under that area with that name in the Implementation Guide (IMG).
!--a11y-->
1.9.3 Excise Duty Postings

Use
HPM materials are mostly split-valuated materials, because you need to be able to define the untaxed and taxed portions of the material. When a material of
that kind is transferred within a company and is sent to a location at which a different excise duty applies, the system records the change in excise duty (ED)
in an accounting document.
Features
For plant-to-plant transfers of taxed materials, the system automatically posts excise duties according to specific posting rules. The following situations can
occur:
Excise duty liabilities
Excise duty liabilities arise when:
Taxed material is moved from an ED-free location to an ED-paid location.
Taxed material is transferred to a location with a higher excise duty.
The liabilities are posted during the goods issue.
Reduction/exemption of excise duty
A reduction of, or relief from excise duty occurs when the excise duty for taxed material is reduced or exempted.
If the receiving plant is an ED-free location, the reduction of or relief from excise duty is posted at the receiving plant.
If the receiving plant is an ED-paid area, the reduction or exemption of taxes is posted at the issuing plant.
Excise duty reimbursements
Excise duty reimbursements occur when:
Dutiable material is placed in storage at an ED-free location
ED-paid material is transferred to a (storage) location with lower excise duty.
The liabilities are posted during the goods issue.
Changes to the excise duty rate (only for two-step plant-to-plant transfers with stock transfer tracking)
The excise duty rate for a material can change between the time of the goods issue at the issuing plant and the goods receipt at the receiving plant.
The changes to the excise duty rate are posted only for the last goods receipt at the receiving plant, as soon as the system has determined the gains or
losses for the entire stock transfer.
Excise duty gain/loss (only for two-step plant-to-plant stock transfers with stock transfer tracking)
Excise duty gains/losses arise due to an inventory increase or decrease of ED-paid material.
Excise duty gains/losses are posted during the final goods receipt for all the materials that belong to a stock transfer and thus to a single tracking number.

1.9.4 Tolerance Check

Use
The quantities of goods issues and goods receipts for a material can be different for plant-to-plant stock transfers. In order to be able to monitor the quantity
difference and also the associated gain and loss postings, you can define tolerances. A goods receipt quantity can differ from a goods issue quantity within
that percentage tolerance range.

1.9.5 Activating Goods Movements Recordings

Material Master Record - Activating Recording
If you want to activate a material for goods movement recording, you have to set the plant stock transfer indicator in the oil-specific data view at client level in
the material master.
The following settings are possible:
Plant-to-plant transfer according to the SAP standard
Plant-to-plant transfer with an added function for updating transfer data records for statistical purposes
IS-Oil plant-to-plant transfer with a gain/loss calculation and posting
You have to set the plant stock transfer indicator for both the issuing plant as well as for the receiving plant, because otherwise the system cannot record the
goods movements for the material.

1.9.6 Completing Goods Movement Recordings

There are two ways to complete the recording of goods movements which belong to a tracking number:
Set the indicator for the last goods movement
Create an additional goods receipt
Set the Indicator for the Last Goods Movement

You can create more than one delivery for a stock transport order. When you post a goods receipt for the last delivery or for the only delivery, you have to set
the last goods movement indicator. By doing that, you complete the goods movement in the system, and you trigger all subsequent material postings and
accounting documents.
You set the indicator for the last goods movement at item level by selecting the relevant checkbox (next to the tracking number).
Create an Additional Goods Receipt

You can assign additional goods receipts to a tracking number if the last goods movement indicator is not set in the last goods receipt document. It may be
that you did not know that it was the last goods receipt for the tracking number when you posted a goods receipt.
In that case, you can create an additional (and last) goods receipt with a goods receipt quantity of zero, and set the delivery completed indicator at item level.
That blocks the tracking number for any further assignment of goods receipts, and you complete the recording of the goods movements in that way. The
system now carries out all the material postings and creates the corresponding accounting documents.
!--a11y-->
1.9.7 Reporting the Recorded Goods Movements

A report is available that displays all the goods movements related to a specific tracking number. To run the report, proceed as follows:
1. Choose Logistics
Materials Management Inventory Management Environment Two-Step Transfer Tracking Report .
The system displays the selection screen for the report.
2. Enter the selection criteria that you want, for example:

1.10 Silo/Tank Managment
PUBLIC
Page 35 of 36
Purpose
Silo/Tank Management allows a company to record physical material stocks in tanks (silos) either hourly, daily, or weekly. As a part of that process, tank dips
can be recorded in the R/3 System. The physical stock readings (tank dip readings) can be compared at any time with book inventories (storage location
stocks, batch stock, or special stock), or with changes in book inventories (goods movement records). In that way, gains and losses can always be
determined and goods movements can be monitored.
Tank master data can be defined to create a basis for the recording of tank dip readings in the R/3 System.
Integration
One or more tanks can be assigned to a storage location. In addition, one or more materials or material segments with special characteristics such as batch,
valuation type and special stock can be assigned to a tank. You can find additional information under
Assigning Materials to Tanks.
Silo/Tank Management is integrated with goods movements. You can find additional information under
Integration of Silo/Tank Management with Goods Movements.
