Reliable, precise and cost-effective

Quantity Conversion
Every oil logistics expert knows the problem: liters needs to be
converted to kilograms for goods movements and especially during
loading. The reference used here is the standard temperature of 15 C.

Obtaining accurate results


Physical background from quantity conversion is
The weight of a substance is crucially important for oil
derived from its specific weight companies because conversion

substances change their volume settlement, quantity planning

Accordingly, precision in
quantity conversion is all-important. To obtain this kind of precision,
the solution deployed should consider both international standards
and any relevant national regulations, needs to remain continuously
up-to-date, and must offer a level of reliability that matches its
accuracy. The solution must also be tightly integrated with the
work of the ERP system.

costs for day-to-day operations are negligible. Whatever the size
of the petroleum company, flexible pricing models (based on product
quantity handled) make OpenTAS QCM into an unbeatably cost-
effective solution for quantity conversion

Technology
Straightforward implementation
The approach used to embed the standard API (ASTM D
1250-80) implementation routines uses an RFC server. This
server utilizes the standard API functions to calculate the
volume correction factor and also implements an alternate
volume correction factor calculation from the Manual of
Petroleum Measurement Standards. The function is called
function modules over RFC by SAP.

Perfect integration with ERP/SAP


Generally, ERP systems such as SAP are not
equipped with internal quantity conversion
functions. SAP offers QCI, the Quantity Conversion Interface,
for integrating an appropriate, specialized conversion program
into the system e.g. into IS Oil, for example.
Precise

Quantity conversion is based on formulas, tables and formulations.


OpenTAS QCM supports globally recognized standards such as
ASTM and API.
