Automatic Ticket Splits on MCF Changes

Earlier releases of OASyS metering/ticketing allowed a user to configure their logical meters ("batmtrs") to perform a ticket split when the meter correction factor ("MCF") changed. As a result, the completed ticket for the previous accumulation would have the previous MCF, and the new active ticket would have the new MCF.


The MCF may be adjusted over the course of a batch in the event of changes to a physical meter's flowrate or to the flowing product's density. If the ticket is not split at that time, then the final ticket cut for that batch will only contain the final MCF used by the VFC. This can be misleading to accounting staff verifying SCADA-corrected volumes, or to third-party accounting staff if the ticket is being used for custody transfer.

Problem Statement

Status: No known workaround for batchXfers/VFCs.


Personas: Accounting users; third-party customers.


Business impact: Being able to identify MCF changes over the course of a batch provides important forensic data to volume accounting staff. This information is also required as part of a custody transfer ticket.
Expectation

If a VFC's meter correction factor should change, it should be configurable to have a ticket split occur on all associated batchXfers to preserve the previous MCF on the completed ticket.

    Given that we have a matrix for the MCF lookup, what would be the expectation when the density or flow rate is hovering around the transition point between values? e.g. density is 800 to 825 kg/m3 but the fluid density is hovering around 825 kg/m3. This could result in a ticket being cut very frequently.

    For this reason, this is why we opted for a weighted average. This is also compliant with API 21.2 section 9.2.10.5

    As of 2022 SP1, there is now a weighted average meter factor that is on the ticket so it's no longer reporting the last used meter factor.
