Oil & Gas space-APO SNP
Hello Expart,
An oil distribution company, currently investigating options for managing their Supply Chain from overseas ports to their terminals. They currently run APO-DP and we have proposed they use APO-SNP. They arenu2019t convinced this is the right option for them. I was wondering if you have any experience with Oil & Gas in this space and whether your experience and references could help us.
Thanks

Hi Girish,
i think the best way to get in to this module by knowing some of the business process, such as Exchange business flow, Stock transport order, delivery process, packaging, Cross docking etc.
you can find the link

OGSD Oil and Gas seconday distribution is also good to know, along with the RLM
As per the training is concerned there are much to go through if you know the above mentioned business process you can do the configuration.
hope this may be useful

Hi,
I am new to SAP. I came from SCM background. I have some knowledge on APO-DP/SNP. I am thinking to move to Oil & Gas and I believe RLM is close for me.
I wonder how RLM module is doing in the market. How are the implementations for this module.
Can somebody throw some light on this?
Thanks In Advance

What is the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm
Hi, i want to know the best practice for setting up warehouse inventory for oil & gas tank farm. SAP has these levels for inventory management in warehouse environment: warehouse-aisle-shelf-bin. To me the bin seems to be the central location for inventory. So do i set up each oil tank as a bin location?

I am looking for SAP Best Practice documents on Oil & Gas Industry.
Any useful link or file will be highly appreciated!

Zain M. BashirHi Zain,
Apparently there are no such documents available. You may refer the SAP documentation on IS OIL
which is exhaustive and elaborated.

SAP oil&gas - where to start - Any advice on manuals/guides
Hello Gurus
I am new to Oil and gas and intend to pursue this segment for the future. I am an experienced computer professional (10+ years) I am fairly well versed with SAP-MM although experience is limited. I am keen to make a career in SAP Oil and Gas - possibly Upstream or Downstream whichever is possible to learn. I am in the midst of registering myself for a course in Oil&Gas Accounting or Joint venture analyst. I have not found any course for Downstream. With that said, I have even rented a SAP Oil&gas server to practice. The problem is that I need to get some guidance as to how to go about this in a methodical way.
I have started to read the manuals along side the SAP - JVA guide that they use for training at SAP. However, there is no step by step guide/manual provided by SAP to really practice or build in order to learn and get a from grasp of the subject. I have found some configuration steps in the SAP Oil&Gas online help files or MySAPOil&Gas while reading. However, the reading of the manuals and online help is only theoretical. One needs some exercises to be performed in order to get a grasp of what is what. Where to start, what to configure outside of basic set-up and why?.
Would anybody be able to guide me as to how to pursue my goals?.
1. Is it possible to learn JVA by using the SAP training guide?.
2. Is it possible to learn TSW by using the SAP training guide?.
3. Does the system need to be configured and set-up before one can use the SAP Oil&Gas server?. - What specific configuration would be required for Downstream outside of the default configuration after installation.
4. What sort of configuration / set-up would be required for JVA?.
(I am aware that every joint venture is different - partner, operator, Eguity group and even Equity)
a. will the creation of company codes be the usual route as in other SAP modules?.
b. Is there any special set-up or configuration within the JVA menu for this that is in addition to the normal creation of company code and Enterprise structure?.
5. Is there any book or manual that can provide additional information as to how to go about learning this subject in order to practice?.
6. What special requirements are required to learn the downstream module apart from the manuals?.
7. Can one really learn SAP upstream/Downstream in 30-40 hours being promised/provided by most so called training providers in Bangalore/Hyderabad?.
I am seriously looking forward to hearing from experienced professionals. I'd appreciate if contributors avoid one or two line statements as I would like to make the thread more meaningful for me and for others in a similar situation.
Thank you for you help and assistance.
CecilCecil:
each module inside has one sap training module linked to it. I believe the questions you are asking aren't really important when it comes to starting your career path in IS oil. Everything is possible, but to certain extent. You can learn the basic from the training, but to apply that to the business situation, industry experience is needed.
with training guide, you obtain the basic background and knowledge on terminologies. To become an expert, you need the working experience and lots of researching online.
Most times Oil and Gas companies use some of the modules provided by Is Oil, for example, TSW and MAP are common ones. If you have time, start with these ones before you lost yourself in all the modules.
I can ask the following questions.
5. Is there any book or manual that can provide additional information as to how to go about learning this subject in order to practice?.
Training is high cost but not necessary. The training manual starts with IOG follows with three digits, you can do some research and learn on your own. If you can't get your answer by searching online, then pay some money to let professionals lead you into the door
6. What special requirements are required to learn the downstream module apart from the manuals?.
knowledge on supply chain management, especially in Oil and gas industry. that being said, SAP SD&MM knowledge is often associated and required.
7. Can one really learn SAP upstream/Downstream in 30-40 hours being promised/provided by most so called training providers in Bangalore/Hyderabad?.
Define learn. enough to get yourself inthe door and equip you with enough knowledge to explore on your own? yes. enough to teach you enough to handle job tasks? no.
in SAP start up phase, learning is an endless topic, after two years, you are still learning.
Hope these helps -

T.P.Hi T.P.
I would suggest you can create infocubes for various types of data, then carry out the extraction into BW and then use it for various reporting functionalities. Please ensure taking back up of data on a periodical basis so that in case of any crash incidences, the data can be retrievable.
Hope this helps your query. Please confirm

Hello All:
I am a PP Consultant with experience in Discrete, Repetitive and Process Industries scenarios, but I never worked with Oil & Gas so I have pretty basic doubts on that. I have already read a lot in help.sap.com but would like to address you a basic question:
- In PP / PI / REM I have always a cost object (Production / Process Order or Cost Collector) and I saw no such thing in this IS. I am used to see goods issue and goods receipts with this object and I saw In this IS a lot of 309 movements.
So the question is? in Downstream, how do I produce my products? How are they costed if there is no (at least I could not find) cost object?
Can anybody help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance
Luis HenriqueHi Luis,
Application of IS oil specific material in the refinery will be mainly on the raw materials.
Crude will be a raw material for the refinery, crude will be managed as IS OIL specific material, when goods receipt for the crude is done, IS oil specific parameters will be recorded and standard qty will be calculated.
You need to ask the business, whether different batch of crude are being mixed up while in stock, this process of mixing up different type of crude is called as blending. how to value raw material and whether batch-wise costing is required or not is something needs to be decided looking at the business requirement.
Blended crude may or may not be required to kept as IS-OIL specific material.
Process order for the refinery can be created based on business requirement, whether refinery will be considered as one unit or process unit wise process order will be created is something needs to be decided based on the amount of information available from the MES system.
Co-product and by-product from the refinery may not be required to managed as IS-OIL specific products.
I hope this information is useful to you. I hope you will understand most of the decision on ariving at right costing model for a refinery is consulting and not SAP related consulting.(Offcourse SAP limitation will play part to decide right costing practices)
Thanks & Regards
