New requirements for supported products must be raised via a ticket (category “Development”) in the QuantityWare Support Portal.

QuantityWare experts analyze such new requirements and perform a feasibility appraisal upon which an implementation decision is made. If a new implementation is to be provided, one of the following delivery options will be supported:

• New implementations are shipped within the next planned CSP. See note 000086 for details concerning the BCS support and release lifecycle.
• If the new requirement needs to be solved faster, it may be solved either via:

• • Advanced Development (AD) –

In Chile, a modified ASTM D1250-80 Table 13, called Table 13M, is in use within the oil industry.

At a base temperature of 60°F, for a given API gravity at 60 °F (density in vacuo) – in the range 0 to 85 °API, the table provides the density in air in kg/L (kg/dm³) for weight calculations. This table 13M is part of the QuantityWare BCP delivery:

With note 000115, a GCD (Generic Customer Development) is made available to fulfill the requirement, such that for crude oil and products,

This is possible via a Generic Customer Development (GCD).

The definition of the Total Calculated Volume (TCV) is:

TCV equals gross standard volume (GSV) plus free water (FW) – API MPMS Chapter 12.1.1.

TCV = GSV + FW ( in appropriate UoM, e.g. FW and GSV in barrels)

You utilize a QuantityWare BCP crude oil conversion group, that is configured to calculate gross and net quantity values (see separate FAQ) . You want  the TCV quantity being calculated as additional quantity value.

The definition of the Total Calculated Volume (TCV) is:

TCV equals gross standard volume (GSV) plus free water (FW) – API MPMS Chapter 12.1.1.

Thus, GSV = TCV – FW ( in appropriate UoM, e.g. FW and GSV in barrels, all at e.g. 60 °F standard temperature)

You utilize a QuantityWare BCP crude oil conversion group, that is configured to calculate gross and net quantity values (see separate FAQ) . You want to enter a TCV value as transaction quantity and the FW value for the calculations.

Yes.
This is supported via a GCD.

QuantityWare BCS MQCI conversion groups for LPG / NGL may be configured to calculate vapor space quantities. For vapor space calculations, the tank capacity is a required calculation parameter. SAP Tank Management does not provide this parameter value from tank master data when calling the SAP QCI for a calculation.

With note 000112, a generic customer development (GCD) is made available, which enables tank capacity defaulting from within an MQCI calculation, if more than one tank is assigned to a storage location.

For your MQCI DCF ethanol conversion group, you wish to enter two additional input parameters for the quantity conversions:

1. the weight % fraction of pure ethanol in your ethanol product
2. the absolute density of pure ethanol – e.g. 0.78924 g/ml (= 789.24 kg/m³) @ 20 °C

This way the system shall calculate, in addition to the existing UoM in your UoM group, the liter @ 20 °C value of pure ethanol.

QuantityWare BCS MQCI conversion groups for LPG/NGL may be configured to calculate total masses, energies and weights, as defined in ISO 6578. Total volume calculations are not part of the standard BCS delivery.

With note 000098, a generic customer development (GCD) is made available, which enables such calculations, utilizing an API MPMS Chapter 14.8 formula approach.

QuantityWare Certified Consultants (QWCC) have access to this GCD via the Support Portal.
