The User Defined Codes (UDCs) program allows you to establish and maintain a table that defines valid codes for various types of information. Codes are categorized by system and code type. You might need to review or revise codes for bulk Stock Management.
In addition, you need to define the user defined codes for the various document types used by the system.
The Bulk Stock Management system uses the following UDCs:
| UDC | Description |
|---|---|
| Blending Categories (Type BC) | Identifies valid product groups that can be put into a specific blending tank. |
| Dispatch Group (Type DG) | Used by the Load and Delivery management system to group bulk products for dispatch. |
| Density Table (Type DN) | Indicates the density conversion algorithm to be used in calculations |
| Dip Type (Type DP) | Identifies the method of measurement when calibrating volumes form tank dips |
| Density Type (Type DT) | Identifies the type of density. |
| Fill Category (Type FC) | Identifies the different filling categories. |
| Gauging Method (Type GM) | Indicates the method used to measure product. |
| Meter Status (Type MS) | Indicates whether the meter is active or inactive. |
| Product Group (Type PG) | Identifies the line of products whose similarities allow them to be grouped. |
| Replenishment Type (Type RT) | Indicates the type of supply (blended product, purchased, filled, and so on). |
| Tank Status (Type ST) | Indicates whether the tank is active or inactive. |
| Strapping Units (Type SU) | Indicates the size of the strapping table increments (centimeters, millimeters, and so on). |
| Tank Location (Type TL) | Identifies the location of the tank. |
| Temperature Type (Type TL) | Identifies the type of temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit). |
| Temperature Conversion Table (Type TT) | Indicates which standard ASTM-IP-API table to invoke for calculation of standard stock accounting units. |
| Tank Usage (Type TU) | Indicates the primary usage for the tank (storage, blending, holding, and so on). |
| Tank Type (Type TY) | Identifies the physical shape of the tank (vertical, horizontal, and so on). |
The following UDCs indicate document types for System 41B:
| UDC | Description |
|---|---|
| Load Confirmed Sales (Type LC) | Include all of the codes for the document types for load-confirmed sales that will go through the meter. |
| Other Metered Outgoings (Type OM) | Include all document types for all other types of transactions that will go through the meter. |
| Non-Metered Outgoings (Type NM) | Include all document types for transactions that left the tank, but did not go through the meter. |
| Incomings (Type IN) | Identify the document types to include in the incoming transactions. |
| Outgoings (Type OT) | Identify all document types to include in the outgoing transactions. |
| Throughput Reconciliation (Type TR) | Identify any documents for which you must complete throughput reconciliation before completing operational reconciliation. |
