Tank outflow distribution

The Distribute Tank Outflow functionality redistributes the total outflow of selected tank batches of the same process step. By distributing the outflow, you ensure that the tanks are occupied for the shortest period of time. The number of batches, the quantity and the quantity of inflow from the batches, are not modified. The batch codes and remarks also remain unchanged. After the outflow has been distributed, the tank batches are reallocated. To facilitate this, non-selected batches are also reallocated, and the sequence is changed.

You can use this functionality by selecting tank batches of different process steps. This function can only be used if it does not matter how many processes have simultaneous inflow and outflow into and from a tank. A lack of connections on a tank or the maximum outflow capacity can form a restriction. The existing flow constraints as defined on the process step are considered.
