Inventory Tracking

To enable inventory tracking, go to Operations and then to the Voyage/MTM Group tab.

CoreTRM is able to keep track of inventory in a storage tank. The system uses MTM Group to track inventory. To start tracking Inventory, you can start from Operations and search for the MTM Group of the buy deal that will be loaded to the Storage Tank.

For Example, we have a Physical Buy deal of $250,000 BBL.

From Voyage/MTM Group, click and check the box Track Inventory. In addition, you can also rename the MTM Group to the storage tank name and click button.

*For month end tracking purpose, it is recommended to rename MTM Group to storage tank name + month and year.*

Go to Inventory tab of the MTM Group that you have enabled inventory tracking. From here, you will now be able to see that an inventory record has been created. In this example, we have received 250,000 BBL into this storage tank.

Next we can start selling the inventory quantity. We can do this by matching (or dragging) the sell trade MTM Group into this Inventory enabled MTM Group.

1. Identify the sell trade. For example, below is a sell trade of 100,000 BBL to ARAMCO TRADING.

2. From the transactions tab of the sell trade, hold and drag the transaction to the MTM Group of the Inventory enabled MTM Group.

3. Once you have drag the sell transaction to the inventory enabled MTM Group, go back to the Inventory tab of the inventory enabled MTM Group. From here you will be able to see a new discharge record of 100,000 BBL from the storage tank.
