Setting Up Additional Tank Information

Enter a number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in short, long, or third item number format.

Identifies the current product that the tank contains. When you enter a product, the system checks the current product associated with a tank. If the new product differs from the current product, you cannot enter it into the tank unless the quantity of the current product is zero. Also, when you enter a product, the system checks the Allowed Products matrix to determine if the product group that this product is attached to is allowed to enter the tank, based upon the tank's previous contents.

If the tank is set up as a blending tank, it has no current product. You can enter any product.

Enter a value or select an option that indicates the type of commingled stock. If any tank for a product contains commingled stock, you must set up all tanks for that product to indicate that they contain commingled stock. You also use this field to divide product in the tank into two quantities. For example, enter a value if you want to separate duty-paid product from unpaid product in the same tank.

Select the appropriate option to indicate whether stocks are commingled for custody or for duty. If stocks are not commingled, clear both options. If stocks are commingled for both custody and duty, select both options.

Note: If you want to indicate that a tank is a commingled tank on Commingled Stocks Inquiry, you must identify the tank as commingled. You do so on the Additional Tank Information form.

Enter a value or select an option that indicates the type of commingled stock. If any tank for a product contains commingled stock, you must set up all tanks for that product to indicate that they contain commingled stock. You also use this field to divide product in the tank into two quantities. For example, enter a value if you want to separate duty-paid product from unpaid product in the same tank.

If the stocks are commingled, you must record all of the product movements at the owner level.

Select the appropriate option to indicate whether stocks are commingled for custody or for duty. If stocks are not commingled, clear both options. If stocks are commingled for both custody and duty, select both options.

Note: If you want to indicate that a tank is a commingled tank on the Location Segment Inquiry form, you must first identify the tank as a commingled tank on the Additional Tank Information form.

Enter a value or select an option that indicates whether the tank is active or inactive. A tank must have a status of active to assign product to it. A tank that has a status of inactive is empty and not being used. Multiple tanks can be active for a product, but only one tank can be defined as the current, or default, tank.

Select this option to indicate that the tank is active. Clear this option to indicate that the tank is inactive.

Enter the volume in the tank that is below the level of the discharge pipeline and, therefore, cannot be removed by the normal discharge pump. The system edits this volume during load confirmation, but it is not used when calculating tank dip volumes. The unpumpable volume quantity is used for informational purposes only.

Enter the volume of product held in the pipeline that is connected to the subject tank. The tank's content capacity includes the volume capacity of the pipeline. To reflect the total product volume in the tank and pipeline, pipeline volume is added to the observed (ambient) volume calculated on the Tank Dip form.

Enter the volume of product below which a low stock warning is issued. A low stock warning indicates that the volume is close to the safety stock level.

Enter the quantity and unit of measure that the system uses to provide a low stock warning. This field information is used during the Load Confirm process.

If the quantity being loaded will bring the tank to the low stock point, a soft error occurs. That is, the user can press Enter and continue with load confirm.

Enter the maximum rate at which the tank can be filled.

Enter the volume of the product in a tank's discharge pipeline. The system adds this value to obtain the total ambient volume.

Enter the rate per hour at which product can be discharged from the tank. This rate is used in the blending/filling process to calculate lead time.

Enter the date when the tank was last cleaned. This field is for reference purposes only.

Enter the number of hours the tank temperature remains valid. This number is used to calculate the next expiration date/time on the Default Tank Information screen. It is also checked at load confirm time to ensure that the default temperature reading is valid. Enter 99999 if no expiration exists (for example, stocks are stored at a third-party site).
