Features

The following functions are available if you activate the Commodity Management and Bulk Transports 2 (LOG_COMMODITY_TRANSPORT_MGMT_4) business function:

Transportation Planner Role

To use the Transportation Planner role in the Enterprise Portal (roles, worksets and iViews), you have to install the business package for Transportation Planner 1.4.

You use the role of a Transportation Planner to access the Dynamic Scheduling application.

Dynamic Scheduling improves the scheduling functionality of TSW by bringing together major parts of Three-Way Pegging (3WP) and Stock Projection Worksheet (SPW) into one (cross) application. This allows the scheduler to schedule and re-schedule orders, vehicles and nominations. It also allows the scheduler to simulate a distribution schedule and analyze any impact on other nominations and orders as well as the projected stock and stock availability. These simulated distribution schedules can be discarded, saved or published as nominations.

Gas Allocation for Carrier

You use this function to support the specific requirements of the natural gas allocation process. To fulfill the business needs of transport system operator (TSO) and shippers, during the gas transmission via pipelines, the existing natural gas adjustment and allocation processess has been enhanced. The TSO can:

  • Perform the gas adjustment for the business process Business Confirmation as a two step process — Upstream Confirmation and Downstream Confirmation.

  • Perform the gas adjustment for the business process Technical Scheduling as a two step process — Forward Confirmation and Backward Confirmation.

  • Perform operating balancing agreement (OBA) and maximum daily quantity (MDQ) allocation for the measurement allocation business process.

  • Navigate to the individual transport nominations from the ALV tree display in the Gas Allocation tab at the nomination item level.

  • Support communication for the Gas Allocation fields in the nomination.

  • Automatically determine destination and fuel quantities in transport nomination. The system determines this on the basis of the fuel consumption percentage that you enter in the Gas Allocation tab of the Freight Contract.

Service Station Retailing

  • Payment Card Data Encryption in IDoc Transactions

You use this function to encrypt the payment card number in service station retailing (SSR). The payment card number has a masked display ensuring the security for the payment card in IDoc transactions (WE02, WE05, WE19).

  • Archiving Access in Display Transactions

You use this function to display transactions to read data from both database and also archived data.

Service station retailing supports administration, pricing, settlement and invoicing, stock management and reporting for retail networks to interface with point of sale (POS) systems and data capture systems, to retrieve sales and other data on a regular basis.

Data Archiving removes out-of-date data from the SAP database that the SAP system does not need online, but can be retrieved on a later date, if required. An exception to this case is that incase of audits, there is a need to display the data for a certain period of time. Some of the data within this period might be archived and some might still reside in the database. You can view the archived data also in the display transactions O3RECH3, O3RCMM02, O3RCPR50 and O3RIO2.

Silo Management

You use this function to do the following:

  • To enable understanding of the set up of tank farm scenario at the plant level.

  • To enable authorization control for maintaining and creating tank dips.

  • To enable posting of physical inventory directly from the tank dips.
