Hi Srinivas A

The TAS Interface provides seamless integration between mySAPu2122

Oil & Gas and external terminal automation systems. The system

integration made possible by the TAS Interface improves the business

processes involved in terminal management, such as taking

orders, managing terminal operations for orders and the corresponding

shipments, and managing tank stocks in the terminal.

The TAS Interface sends data on loading transactions (such as

details on contracts, orders, and shipments) from mySAP Oil &

Gas to the terminal automation system. The terminal automation

system performs the loading transactions using the information

received from mySAP Oil & Gas. After the loading transactions

have taken place, the terminal automation system sends

the information on the loading process to mySAP Oil & Gas

through the TAS Interface. mySAP Oil & Gas processes this

information and automatically posts the relevant documents.

The TAS Interface transfers loading information about the pickup

and shipment of product, movement of goods, and physical

inventory.

The TAS Interface supports the following functions:

u2022 Sending loading information to an external terminal

automation system

u2022 Receiving loading information from the external terminal

automation system and providing that information to mySAP

Oil & Gas using:

u2013 Intermediate documents (IDocs) and application linking

enabling (ALE)

u2013 An internal table and a remote function call (RFC)

u2022 Manually entering loading information in mySAP Oil & Gas

u2022 Processing loading information in mySAP Oil & Gas

Hi Srinivas,

In standard business transactions supported by SAP for Oil & Gas, quantities are processed to support a range of business processes, including inventory movements such as goods issues and receipts. These quantities are often captured using sophisticated technical measuring equipment such as automatic tank gauges and flow meters, which form part of the terminal automation system (TAS). This data is passed to SAP for Oil & Gas for evaluation and processing. IS-TAS allows automatic transfer of data between the TAS and SAP R/3. The R/3 System then automatically processes that information.

The Terminal Automation System Interface supports the transfer of loading information for the

pick-up, shipment, goods movement, and physical inventory business processes.

Features

The Terminal Automation System Interface supports the following functions:

u2022 Sending of loading information to an external system

u2022 Receipt of loading information from an external system, for the R/3 System:

u2212 The use of IDocs and ALE (Application Linking and Enabling)

u2212 The use of an internal table and a Remote Function Call (RFC)

u2022 The manual entry of loading information in the R/3 System

u2022 The processing of loading information in the R/3 System

The system uses various different function modules for automatic processing. Which

one it uses will depend on whether the loading information is entered in the sales

contract, order/contract call-off, or shipment.

For more information on this, refer to the

corresponding Implementation Guide under Industry Solution Oil & Gas

(Downstream) u2192 TD u2192 Terminal Automation System Interface u2192 Define functions

and function groups.

In the following online documentation, the term "TAS" is often used in

combination with other terms (for example, TAS group, TAS-relevant, TAS status

table). TAS is the abbreviation for Terminal Automation System and, when

combined with other terms, indicates a relationship with the Terminal Automation

System.
