This chapter contains these topics:
To set up the structural tank information that the system uses to process transactions
To set up a blending tank and define the allowed blending categories
To set tank information, such as discharge and filling rates, that the system needs to calculate volume and manage depot transactions
To set up the strappings information for all tanks within a depot
To define the default temperature and density specific to a tank
To specify the allowed product groups and sequence restrictions within tanks
To set up flow meters for a depot
A depot consists of tanks that hold various products. You must define the tanks, allowed products, and meters at the depot location. The system uses this information to calculate volumes and optimize tank usage.
Complete the following tasks:
Set up a tank
Define tank temperature and density
Define product groups
Set up a flow meter
Set up the depot and tank locations. See Section 20.1, "Setting Up Depot Constants for Bulk Products".
Set up the items that will be placed in the tanks. See Section 24.1, "Setting Up a Bulk Item".
