Diagnosis The Quantity Conversion Interface (QCI) allows you to calculate targetquantities that are corrected for BSW content (Volume percentage). Inorder to obtain a consistent result, the transaction quantity has to beentered at ambient conditions. Example> You post a goods movement of 1,000 barrels of crude oil with a BSW of10%. You should enter 1,000 BBL and the material temperature (60 FAH)and not 1,000 BB6 (barrel at 60 FAH). Then, the target quantities willbe corrected using the BSW % factor. Target units should always bemasses or volumes at defined standard conditions. If you enter 1,000 BB6instead and also have UG6 (gallons at 60 FAH) defined in the unit ofmeasure group, the result appears to be inconsistent. The system thenstores a movement of 1,000 BB6 and 37,800 UG6. If you enter 1,000 BBL and a BSW of 10%, the system calculates both the900 BB6 and 37,800 UG6 value correctly (if defined in the UoM group) andstores these values, in addition to the uncorrected transactionquantity of 1,000 BBL.System Response The system stops processing. This message can be customized to appear asa warning or information message or not to appear at all. Procedure Change the transaction unit of measure to a unit of measure at ambientand specify the material temperature according to the temperaturespecifications of the initial transaction unit of measure. |
