Example for Accept Range

For example, input and output streams of "TankA" are out of service and the tolerance of "TankA" is zero(it means constant). The reconciled inventory is equal to measured inventory and therefore "TankA" is not balanced and the reconciled imbalance is 2 ton. If you want to reconcile today’s inventory as balanced inventory (In this example, yesterday’s reconciled inventory = 100 ton), it is handled by logic tag.

Yesterday’s reconciled inventory = 100 ton

Today’s measured inventory = 102 ton

The below example show that "TankA" is not balanced since "Input_ST1" and "Output_ST1" streams are out of service and the tolerance of "TankA" inventory is zero(it means constant) but inventory change(2 ton) of "TankA" is small and you want to set today’s inventory as yesterday’s reconciled inventory(100 ton) to make the balance of "TankA".

The checkbox of Accept Range is selected and the range value is defined.

After running data reconciliation, if the absolute value of the reconciled imbalance is within the range value, the reconciled inventory value is automatically corrected to make balance as the below.

The reconciled inventory value is 100 ton as yesterday’s reconciled inventory value instead of 102 ton as measured inventory value to automatically make balance.

Also the balance status is AutoBal (Auto Balanced Tank) and reconciled imbalance is zero.

This example shows the difference of Accept Range functionality usage.

Keep in mind that the checkbox of Use Reconciled Value as Initial Inventory should be selected before using Accept Range functionality because today’s reconciled inventory value is automatically corrected with yesterday’s reconciled inventory value(not yesterday’s measured inventory value) to make balance.
