Hi Rajiv,
Stream is determined by the flow of material.
UpStream :- In Oil and Gas industry initial investment is very high for locating the source for crude oil and then getting the permission for the government of the country where that source lies and then extraction of the oil. a company all along can not bear that expanse so it involves big join ventures ... and in this if you notice then the material (crude oil) is following up .. i.e. from underground source to refineries .. this is called up streams and this covers join venture accounting, and all the finance related stuffs. for more detail on this check out this link

Downstream :- This includes the refinement, storage, transportation, measurement and retail of final oil and gas product ......
In existing core R/3 sales and distribution a lot of changes has been done for down stream oil and gas functionality. for more detail in this please check out this link :

Practical problem in oil industry

Hi,
We are facing one practical problem in oil industry.
We are using base oil as a raw material. After adding additives to the base oil it will become semifinish material.
This semifinish material will become finish material when it is packed in packing material like drum, bottles of different sizes, i.e., same semifinished material will become different finish material depending on packing material.
Drums are used to sell to the customer as well as used to store in case there is no order. Bottles are used to sell only.
If in case of shortage of semifinish material in the process (which happens practically), they are transferring the oil from drum to bottles to fulfil the requirement. There is no specific period of transfer. This may happen in this month or after six month. In this case the drum will become empty and reused.
In SAP point of view this drum need to go back to storage location.
Pls tell me how to map this requirement.
Regards,
Rajesh

Rajesh,
In your case say for example unpacking the material from drum and repacking to bottles, this can be through a Process order/Production order which ever you are using and you can use a specific order say for example ZP01.
Here you can have a BOM with Finished material number(oil in drum) as a Input component along with bottle and other packing materials as required, you also need to add drum in negative quantity in the bom, so that you can recieve back the drum as bi-product. Use a routing/reciepe to capture your operation cost on pumping out oil from drum and filling the bottles. Have this combination as Production Version. Configure the order type paramters in COR4/OPL8 to have Production version selection manual. This means when you create an order, you can manually select the production version which is meant for unpacking and repacking.
Hope this helps...

FICO implementation in an oil industry

Hi everyone,
I want to know the experience of anyone who has done FICO implementation in an oil industry. Please give me a detailed scenario of why and what all was done in the project. I will deeply appreciate your help and reward points suitably.
Thanks
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
For the FI and CO cost center accounting/ internal orders is for 80% the same in all branches. When you have accounting background it should be no problem.
It is more difficult to work for different countries. Like VAT, payments, local accounting rules.

Exchange Agreement in Oil industry achieved through SAP?

Hi,
Can somebody please ellaborate on the how the exchange agreement process is acheived in SAP?
Steps with transactions would be helpful. Are there multiple scenarions for the same?
Thanks in adavance!
Regards

Hello ,
Hope the Information Below will clear - THE     BUILDING EXCHANGE AGREEMENT IN SAP...
     Following points should be noted while creating exchanges in SAP,
1.     Enter the exchange agreement in SAP (Tcode O3A1--- Create exchange agreement). The SAP exchange agreement consists of an exchange header, one or multiple sales contracts and one or multiple purchase contracts. Exchange agreement has to have both Purchase and Sales contracts. The movement type could be bulk or Rack.
2.     The first piece is the exchange header. The exchange header is the agreement number for the contract. The header is what links the exchange receipts and exchange deliveries pieces together
3.     The exchange header tells the system whether the agreement is a buy/sell, Terminaling or exchange
4.     The header also has some administrative data like the start and end dates for the agreement
5.     The second piece is the sales contract(s). The sales contract looks like a normal SAP sales contract and stores the exchange delivery terms of the agreement. Again, the exchange delivery is the product that Chevron is giving to the partner
6.     The design calls for one sales/purchase contract for each rack location on the agreement. All bulk locations will be on the same contract
7.     The sales contract contains information such as the materials to be delivered, the mode of transportation, locations to deliver from, pricing data
8.     This would include creating the condition records which is a transaction code outside of the create contract transaction (Tcode for creating Sales Condition is VK11, use appropriate key combination)
9.     The third piece is the purchase contract(s). The purchase contract looks like a normal SAP purchase contract and stores the exchange receipt terms of the agreement. Again, the exchange receipt is the product that Chevron is getting from the partner
10.     The purchase contract contains information such as the materials to be received, the mode of transportation, locations to receive from, and pricing data
11.     This would include creating the condition records which is a transaction code outside of the create contract transaction (Tcode for creating Purchase condition is MEK1, use appropriate key combination)
12.     In order for the differentials to calculate properly the condition types need to be entered on the sales and purchase contracts
13.     When creating the sales and purchase contracts make sure that the condition records are being recognized and pulled into the documents
14.     Process orders in SAP.

SD and IS-OIL

Hi Friends,
Does SAP IS-OIL takes care of the Sales part as well or SD module also is required to handle the sales part of the Oil and Gas Refinery?Can somebody pl provide me the inputs for understanding the process/flow on IS-OIL?
Thanks
Isaac

Isaac,
IS Oil helps provide the oil industry specific functionalities to otherwise normal business processes. The SD part of SAP helps provide the basic functionalities for standard sales processes where industry uniqueness does not come in. For example:
1. in the case of oil, we might account and sell product in Litres @ natural or ambient temperature and / or in Litres @ 15 Deg Celsius or 60 Degree F. This is not the case with most other products.
2. we might wish to price the product based on price feeds of Platts or OPIS or Reuters or other. There has to be provision to get these feeds and help price the product accounting for holidays, pricing terms and conditions, special formulas etc. We also need the flexibility to use non formula pricing. IS Oil provides the leverage for formula based pricing and standard SD, the standard pricing tools.
3. movement of product in the oil industry is through pipelines, tankers, rail or road or barges - some very unique to the industry; compartments, planning, bay allocation, storage tank allocation etc. IS Oil helps us define different transportation methods, their capacity, licenses, dimensions, multiple drops etc.
4. taxes and licenses for an oil industry are unique
What IS oil helps to do is integrate these unique industry requirements to the standard sales process. IS Oil has no transaction processing capabilities of its own. It adds the much needed oil industry unique requirements to the sales and mm processes.
Hope this helps.

Macbook Pro in moist conditions: won't turn on anymore?

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to start this thread to ask a few questions about a current problem. I bought a macbook pro in January of this year and love it. Problem is, the laptop stopped turning on just yesterday. I am currently in the UK on business and the laptop stopped working, so I brought it to the local Apple Store here. They opened it up and found that there was corrosion on the board and that there was water damage on the laptop. I have never spilt any sort of liquid on this machine directly, nor have I had it in direct contact with any water, juices, etc. This is a brand new laptop with about 20 work hours on it. I brought it out to work 3 weeks ago, and work in the Offshore Oil Industry in Canada, and frequently use my laptop for work and personal use while i'm out there. Being on a vessel in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, it IS a moist environment, but would this have any affect on the performance of the laptop? I am devestated to have paid so much money for this product, and only get 4 months out of it, only to have it stop working....
Any suggestions on a solution for this?

So as ORGELTHORPE says you could be very judicious about where you use the computer.
I also wonder whether a hydrophobic treatment like this would be helpful:
http://inhabitat.com/liquipels-hydrophobic-nanocoating-makes-gadgets-completely- waterproof/
There have been many of these show up recently.
You could also create a special environment using a dissicant such as silica gel and a forced air environment to dry, desalinize the air before the computer sees it.
There are companies that apparently deal with this all the time:
http://www.way-technovation.com/
A small consumer dehumidifier might actually do the job. Don't know about the power on an oil rig.
The worst case I ever saw was a client who lived downwind from the active volcano in Hawaii. Air high in sulphuric and nitric acid turns out to be very detrimental to electronics and humans.

Unlimited Data Policy

When I signed up with Verizon many years ago I was happy to pay for Data long before many even had it. I have been with Verizon in one form or another since Verizon purchased AirTouch in Orange County California. Yes, I had a bag phone and a 3 watt DiamondTel handheld back then. Now I have a Note II and had to pay for it since I was told I would lose my unlimited data plan if I chose to upgrade as I had in many years past with the same plan. I'm not sure what bean counter thought this was a good idea but it has gotten me to think about switching myself, mother in law, and my wife to another company that offers unlimited data at a lower cost. I like the service I get with Verizon although I don't receive 4g about 75% of the time and its slower than snot on 3g.
With Sprint and now Straight Talk offering unlimited data, my $140 per month plan that I pay just for me is not looking so attractive, especially when I don't feel welcome at Verizon. Not being able to upgrade is a clear tactic to drive me off my plan with the carrot of getting a phone at a discount.
I don't understand why I am being treated differently. Obviously you have earned a great deal of money from me over the years I deserve to be treated just like others. Whats funny is that a new person that has never even been on Verizon is treated with more respect and given a discount on a phone when I am not.
I like the unlimited data because I dont have to worry about going over. I pay for peace of mind.
Please reconsider your policy and treat people like me with the same respect you do for others not on the unlimited plan. Its obvious that if Im on the plan I have been with you a while and you are profiting from me on every month I pay. All Im asking for is what other currently get. Equality for all.
Thanks

It's all about the MONEY, man. Nothing but the MONEY. Upgrade fees, data overages of $10, $15, per gig, or even $20 for 300 Meg if they can get away with it, $50 for 1 GIG data on the Share Plans, $40 access fees for nothing but a big fat bill pad to increase profit margins past 50% to please investors. Tethering charges. No other country but US has carriers that charge for tethering over and above the base charges for data.
20 years of loyalty is not going to exempt you from current policies no matter how much you dislike them. Data caps and forcing customers onto them by implementing sleazy upgrade policies and fees has nothing whatsoever to do with network management or congestion, but everything to increasing subscriber ARPU. Verizon's CFO has been quoted as saying "Data is the new Oil." And we all know how the Oil Industry bends us all over with gas going from $0.25 cents a gallon to $3-5 / gallon over the last 40 years.

Goods receipt more than intransit quantity for SA

Hi All,
While doing a testing on stock transport order for 2 different company code, noticed that during MIGO in receiving plant system is allowing to receive more than in-intransit quantity for a schedule agreement with agreement type LP and by showing a negative stock in intransit.
Is there anyway to have the system block with error message from preventing user to receive more than intransit quantity for a schedule agreement?

negative stock in transit is not allowed.
so it must originate for a SAP bug.
E,g, OSS note 527403 explains a case for IS-OIL Industry solution.
Oss note 210472 a special case regading previous month.
I found about 60 OSS notes when searching with "in transit negative"

Blackberry is popular in Iran despite sanctions-a great market for blackberry

Iran is considered the largest market for cellular phones in the middle east [guardian].
Blackberry z10 sales have started since February in the world. There is no official Blackberry store in Iran, but market demand has made importers bypass restrictions to bring Blackberry z10 products into the country 48 hours after the canada!!!
Because of recent sanctions by usa, the price of dollors became triple since last year and Iranians have to pay more money to buy a smart phone. salary of an engineer in iran become $250 per month !! (I used this example to let you know about the situation). So number of selling smart phones reduced %50 and unfortunately Apple and Blackberry lost a huge market in middle east.Three another companies (samsung,LG and sony) still remain in iran and by financial supporting of iran's government and good relationship with japan and s-korea they have good market.
In middle of February the price of z10 was more than $1500 in iran (equal to 6 months salary of an engineer in iran!!) but fortunetly the price have decreased continuously since march. The BB z10 is selling about $600 in market now. However, I belived that most of them are refurbished and is sold to us as new one!!
There is a great potential for selling Blackberry in iran. About %40 of iranians are under 30 years old (about 30 million people) and most of them so interested in loyal and American smart phones such as iphone.
After coming BB z10 to iran, many people prefer to use it to iphone. a lot of stores started to sell BB z10 and many seller said iphone placement will replaced by BB z10. but after 1 month many customers returning their Z10s and they wanted to sell it with cheaper price.They said all services was blocked in iran. it was not possible to update BB OS, you can't to buy applicaions from app store, you can't to use BB email,BBM ,.... . Many buyer complained that the GPRS is deactive by BB and wifi disconnected continual by BB sever. so the BB services that you can use iran is equal to Nokia 1100.
Itunes and google play also have been closed their services to iranians. However, a lot of way exists to use their service . For example by changing IP, using VPN or rooting ( or jailbreaking) mobile phones you can access ti itunes. so BB will lost a great market in the world. I read a news about returning BB z10 in usa. If BB had official service and store in iran (similar to samsung,LG,sony), they would sold more than 1 million smart phone in iran.
The focus of the sanctions has been on Iran's banks and oil industry, Iranian individuals and companies that Western capitals believe are assisting what they suspect is Tehran's drive towards a nuclear weapons capability. However I belived that eventhough sanctions made a lot of problem for iranians in iran, a lot of problem also has been made for western companies such as BB which interest to be iran market.
at the end I have some suggestion for BB company, If they want to sell their mobile phones in iran:
1. please let iranians install application from app world and let get updates (do not fear!! no body use them for nuclear prog ram )
2. please add persian keyboard to your os (you can add 5 letter to arabic keyboard to convert it to persian, it is not difficult).
3. please add the name of iran to your country lists and let us to register in your website.
4. find a local distributor in iran and import your device legal. government give importer companies dollar with cheaper price, so company can sell smartphones with lower price in iran.
Mohammad

I think, i success.
App store of blackberry, Google, Apple will open to Iranians soon. USA omitted mobile phone sanctions two days ago. Also, North american companies could open local distributor in iran:

FEATURE REQUEST, Deduct not payed down payment from final invoice

An AR Downpayment invoice that is not yet due or paid when the final invoice is made, will not be deducted, and you will not be able to take these down payments in to account when the Final invoice is made.
This request is that we would like a check box or similar that makes is possibel to calculate final invoice based on selected or all downpayments regardles if they are paid or not.
The oil industry has several month's payments terms, and in many cases the down payments have a due date that exceeds the date when the final invoice is created.
So when the final invoice is created, and you recieve the messages "One or more payments that are linked to the base document(s) have not been paid. Continue?" (se attatchment) it should be possible to choose if you want to deduct these (some or all)down payments or not.
Then Down_payment invoice should remain open for incomming payments at the cutomers Account balance.

Please repost as above query as discussion with question type to get quick assistance.
