TSW Introduction-Definition Definition - TSW: TSW (Trader’s and Scheduler’s Workbench) is a scheduling tool designed to plan, schedule and control hydrocarbon bulk movements through the supply chain, via interfaces with business partners and other systems. TSW is the central access point for all the capabilities that schedulers need to manage the supply chain operations. It is used to plan and execute the movement of material through the supply chain, E.g. creation of nominations, ticketing and the automation of material movements upon actualization of freight movements.

Stock Projection Worksheet The SPW is an interactive and flexible online report that shows the inventory forecast and associated movements at a daily level for a specified part of the supply chain. You can view the stock projection worksheet for base metal products at any level within a location hierarchy and for various transportation systems. The SPW is generally viewed and used by the scheduler and others who are responsible for stock movements The Stock Projection Worksheet indicates (by location and material) Inventory stock Scheduled incoming and outgoing stock The nominations consuming the stock The vessel on which the stock will be transported

3 Way Pegging (3PWP) We use 3 way pegging to plan and schedule bulk shipments based on supply and demand information (OR) Three-way pegging is a process used to create a nomination. It is called 3WP simply because it pegs 3 types of elements together to make the nomination – these are • Demand elements • Supply elements • Transportation vehicles

Nomination The Nomination is the central planning application in TSW to schedule, group and communicate bulk movements and transportation within a supply network. You use nominations to: • Capture movement schedules based on demand and supply data, such as from sales, purchase or transfer documents. • Navigate to and validate against master data, such as the transport systems, locations, partners or vehicles. • Handle status ( confirmation process) • Navigate to the TSW work list and update the SPW (Stock Projection Worksheet) • Automatically generate subsequent documents , such as deliveries , bulk shipments, goods movements or billing document • Show document flow • Integrate with R/3 inventory management

TSW Master Data Requirements for Creating a Nomination
Nominations require the following information: • Transport System, model the supply chain and represent;- A fixed supply route in which product is moved from one location to another • Location, to which materials are assigned:- Assigned to a transport system as either origin / destination or both for the movement of product - One location can be assigned to many transport systems • Partner Role, represent customers, vendors, plants / storage locations - Are created as a Role Assignment (Receiver / Supplier) for a transport system and business location combination

Nominations - Item Status’ • Planned -
During supply chain planning the nomination can be created with the highest level of provisional information and used as a placeholder regarding the movement planned to take place
-
Details of the Nomination can still be amended
• Incomplete -
The status allows the scheduler to save the nomination as incomplete, although it is not possible to actualise or save. Additional details can be entered into the Nomination
-
Where details of the planned movement and schedule are still unknown
• Confirmed -
Final details of the schedule are known and entered into the nomination
-
All necessary communication regarding the schedule has been sent to relevant parties
-
Confirmation flags on the Nomination line items are set

Ticket - Definition A ticket is an official notice sent by a partner, containing information about a product movement. •
In the ticket generation process, data is entered in the system either manually or through automatic interface:
Meter or Gauge readings (opening, closing or actual quantities)
Quantities or Inspection reports provided by external systems or partners
•
The system stores the data in a load ticket table and used the data during the actualization process
•
Actualization:
The system created the required transfer document, such as call-offs , delivery notes and invoices with actual figures
The system updates the book inventory
•
Reversal and Correction
Tickets can be cancelled and corrected including the subsequent postings in one go.

Actualise a Ticket - Points to Note •
A ticket cannot be actualised until a nomination has been validated and saved
•
The load line (O) of a Nomination must be ticketed before the discharge line (D) to be able to determine any gains/loss during bulk movements
•
Once fully processed, the ticketed quantity will be displayed as the actual quantity in the nomination alongside the scheduled quantity
•
During Ticketing, GSAP will calculate the quantities of alternative UoM’s based on ASTM – temperature and density details against the defaults for the material and plant on which the Ticket is based –
When entering quantities of the same like for like measurements with fixed conversion factors (e.g 1000kg = 1 TO), entering values that do not correspond to the standard conversion rate will have an impact on stock reconciliation and the calculation of gain and loss
• Each ticket triggers a document flow in GSAP with reference to the information held within line 1 (Origin) and line 2 (Discharge) of a Nomination • Tickets actualised in error can either be corrected, reversed or marked as corrupt
• Tickets automatically generated via an interface or O4TAPN are actualised against their scheduled quantities and UoM

Reverse, Correct & Mark Corrupt Tickets: Definitions
• A ticket that has been fully actualized can be reversed in order to undo all documents that has been generated. The reversal process will result in the nomination item to be open for re-ticketing • A ticket that has been fully actualized can be corrected for quantity or dates. Ticket correction will perform reversal of the original tickets and create new documents with the new corrected quantities or dates • If the load and discharge line of a nomination needs to be cancelled, the correct sequence is to reverse the discharge ticket before reversing the load ticket • A Ticket can be marked as corrupt when a reversal / correction cannot be processed for the actualized Ticket due to unforeseen errors. All related documents must be reversed or deleted manually before a ticket is corrupted

TSW Planning
© Copyright IBM Corporation 2006
Global Business Services
TSW Planning TSW Planning provides a linear view of the supply chain. That is, each planning object can have one source for planning purposes. In the case of locations, this represents the most common way a location is sourced. When you generate Planning data for the first time, the system builds up a linear planning chain by analyzing the master data entries. The system then stores the sequence. The system only recalculates the sequence if any one of a number of key points were changed since the last generation of planning data. For example, creating a new location, making a location planning relevant, or defining a new source.
You define production versions in material master data records and reference the production versions in the planning master data to handle seasonal grade changeovers. During TSW Planning, the system generates proposal quantities and dates that the scheduler can use as suggestions for possible nominations

Replenishment Planning Functions
© Copyright IBM Corporation 2006
Global Business Services
Planning Functions TSW provides six different planning functions, that is, three planning types combined with two planning methods. Planning types: 1. Maximum replenishment: the inventory is filled to the maximum inventory level 2. Target replenishment: the inventory is filled to the target level 3. Replacement replenishment: the inventory is filled so that bulk issues scheduled in nominations are replaced Planning methods: 1. With calendar: the system only makes replenishment proposals for the days specified by the planning calendar selected 2. Reorder point planning: the system makes replenishment proposals for the days When the inventory falls below the reorder point specified in the SPW object planning screen.
