Contract - An agreement that a customer will order a certain quantity of a product during a specified period.

The contract does not contain a schedule of specific delivery dates. Time pricing - Allows pricing based on the time of day in conjunction with the pricing date or with the day of the week DRC (Differential Reference Code)- The code represents a physical geographic specification used for calculating location specific prices, discounts and surcharges. The DRC allows prices paid by customers to reflect supplier's costs and permits areas with the same taxes or prices to be grouped together. Crucially, the DRC is used to set prices based on the destination of a delivery, e.g. on the location of the ship-to party, however this can be manually overridden in the sales document. The geographical elements of the DRC are: Region / State Metropolitan Indicator (MI) Wide Area Pricing Zone (WAP) Pricing DRC (combines several DRCs for pricing) Country Code State Licence Fee Zone (SLF) EXG - A key functional area of SAP for Oil & Gas that deals with the management of exchange agreements between oil companies. Exchange Partner - A partner with whom returnable packaging is being exchanged, as opposed to the partner that represents the location of the returnable packaging transaction. Exchange Agreement - An agreement between two oil companies on the exchange of products at different locations. In the SAP system, the exchange agreement is an outline agreement defining the posting rules for the material and fees. Exchange agreements can be distinguished on the basis of the exchange type Exchange Type - Description of the type of exchange agreement. The header data for the agreement is determined from the type, e.g. posting rules, breakdown indicator, etc. Types can often be distinguished on the basis of the posting rules: Internal posting Materials and/or fees are posted to internal clearing accounts and cleared by UPE, for example. External posting Materials and/or fees are invoiced to the partner. Breakdown indicator - The means by which the type of period is defined. This is used in the quantity schedule of the outline agreement. Quantity schedule split - The quantity schedule subdivides the quantity of one item. The QS is defined in the outline agreement (contract). In the call-off, a check against the permitted quantity in the corresponding period of the contract QS is made. Goods receipt/goods issue checks the quantity against the QS of the call-off. If the delivered quantity is greater than the permitted quantity, the QS can be rescheduled in the outline agreement or a call-off can be made. Buy/sell exchange - A type of exchange in which materials and taxes are invoiced. Fees, although they might be posted internally, are generally invoiced too.

Borrow/loan exchange - A kind of exchange in which materials are only posted internally. In such an exchange, a logical inventory is set up and the excise duty and fees caused by material movements are invoiced. The whole exchange remains internal, however, and the fees are not invoiced to the partner. A borrow/loan exchange is also known as a "pure" exchange. Evergreen type - The Evergreen type determines whether it is the Exchange Agreement Mapped to standard contracts or contracts is unlimited Evergreen. Netting-The combination of separate items into one format. In the area of Exchanges in ISOil, netting refers to the combination of financial items, such as claims and liabilities into one document or statement. At the end of a specific period, the claims and liabilities are compared and the difference with respect to the exchange partner is invoiced. Base location - The base location in exchange deliveries describes the point (on a pipeline), from which pipeline fees are first paid. Terminalling - An agreement that is signed between a terminal operator and an oil company, which wants to store product at a terminal. LIA - A logical inventory adjustment is used in the exchange of unequal products (for example: diesel and super). In addition, the payment of a differential can also be included in the process. Logical inventory can be cleared using a logical inventory adjustment. Up until IS-Oil Release 1.0C the description of a logical inventory adjustment was 'Unlike Product Exchange' Exchange fee - fees used to settle the difference in value between the materials that are exchanged. TDP - A key functional area of SAP for Oil & Gas that deals with the handling of excise duties. ED status - The excise duty status indicates whether a material is taxed (excise duty is paid) or untaxed (excise duty is not paid). Handling type - Two character code used with materials on which excise duty is payable. For movements of such materials, the handling type describes the excise duty rate applying at the destination of a sale or at the origin of a purchase. Quantity conversion - The equivalent quantities between different units of measure Air buoyancy factor - A calculation that is used when performing quantity conversion calculations between a volume and a mass. The air buoyancy factor is a correction made to the calculated base density to account for the difference between the density in a vacuum and the density in air. It is subtracted from the base density before the density is multiplied by the volume to calculate the mass. The value of the air buoyancy factor can

be defined in the material master and is used in the oil quantity conversion calculation if the air buoyancy factor indicator is set for a transaction Fixed density - Basic density for chemicals. Densities for chemicals are always defined for the substance at standard temperature. A change in the fixed density corresponds to a change in the material. Thermal expansion coefficient -The thermal expansion coefficient describes the way a material expands during changes in temperature. A fixed density is assigned to oil products that are entered as chemicals (the product type) in the system. The fixed density and the thermal expansion coefficient are used during oil quantity conversion to convert volumes into values at standard temperature. The thermal expansion coefficient is directly connected to a standard temperature (15 C, 20 C, 60 F). Which one it is depends on the conversion group. Excise duty group - A two-character code which links materials subject to the same excise duty rate, so that a change to the excise duty rate is automatically applied to all the materials, and individual updating is not required. Transportation Planning Point - An organizational unit in Logistics for planning and processing transportation activities. It organizes the responsibilities in a company according to, for example, shipment type, mode of transport, or regional departments.

Intransit Storage Location - Represents product which is being transported on a vehicle as part of a shipment. Intransit Plant - When shipping large quantities of product over long distances such as in pipeline and marine shipments, it can be necessary to maintain a segregated overview of the intransit stock. This can be done by representing the vehicle as a separate plant, known as an intransit plant. It is possible to allocate all vehicles to a single intransit plant or, alternatively, to set up a separate intransit plant for each vehicle.
The intransit plant can consist of multiple storage locations for product tracking purposes as it moves along its route. Intransit plant concept fits very well with many oil companies as they would like to have a visibility of their moving goods. But there in no separate intransit plant config like we have for intransit Sloc unless you are using TSW along with TD where you can define an intransit plant in master data. With only TD you may define a separate intransit plant but the business transaction will demand few extra steps to consider that, this will increase user activity, unless you go for a developoment which can automatically transfer goods from / to intransit plant in every transfer between actual sending and receiving plant.

Bulk Shipment Type - Shipments which are not packaged, but are loaded directly into the vessel's holds.

MoT - The mode of transport is the way in which an oil product is shipped. There are four standard modes of transport: road, rail, marine and barge. Compatibility Checks Indicator that checks the compatibility of vehicle-customer and product-compartment assignments. Transport unit - Transport units are the building blocks used to create a vehicle. Depending on the type of transport unit, you can assign one or more compartments to a transport unit. Compartments - Compartments are the building blocks for transport units and represent the storage container for the material during shipment. Vehicle Meters - vehicle meters to record product quantities delivered to the customer during the delivery confirmation process. Service Agents - A carrier (service agent) is created as vendor master data in Purchasing, and can be assigned to transport units to represent the owner or shipper. Carriers are also used in Shipment Costing. Vehicles - A vehicle is the means by which you transport product from one location to another. Rack Meters - The rack meter master data record stores the attributes of meters used during the loading transaction. Scheduling - The scheduling process helps you to plan your shipments and involves the scheduling activities. Transportation Planning Interface(TPI) - The Transportation Planning Interface supports transportation planning for bulk material shipments and optimization of bulk material shipments Terminal Automation System Interface(TAS) - allows data on loading transactions (loading information) to be sent from SAP Oil & Gas to an external system (Terminal Automation System).
