As you know, we have been experiencing very long processing times for Monthly
Accounting Closing each month. This problem is becoming increasingly worse each month because most of the prior months have un-finalized invoices/payments which require reprocessing this data each month (draft, reversal of last accrual and creating new accrual). This condition goes back to Jan. 99 for Unify, Jan. 95 for pre-Unify PMAs, and becomes worse each month as more such items are accumulated. A few month ago, we discussed this situation and as shown below, not much progress has been made in finalizing prior month data in Gas business while better progress has been achieved in Power settlement. It is essential this be strongly addressed. Otherwise, the system will soon be unable to process the Monthly Closing (mass draft & Closing) within a day. It will be very helpful if you would prepare a plan to address this issue and attend a meeting on Thursday (3/9) at 10:00 in EB2601 to discuss future actions. Thank you. ---------------------- Forwarded by Inja Chun/HOU/ECT on 03/02/2000 01:20 PM --------------------------- Enron Technology From: Regan M Smith 03/02/2000 11:06 AM To: Inja Chun/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Kenneth M Harmon/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: As discussed, below is the Mar-00 Accrual metrics, by delivery period. Inja, Below is the revised detail items which reflect the open items from less than July 99. It compares from Jan1st metrics to March 1st metrics. The load to Unify comes from the 2 angels below. The Mass Draft has the concern of statements not finalized for those periods, which the back end accrual & reporting has the increased load of line items. Front End process Mass Draft Process (load) - whenever any statement has not been finalized for a prior delivery period, it has to redraft for those deals. Hence, redraft for every deal for that counterparty. Back End processes Accrual Process - The accrual extracts on a line item detail, which is stored, and reported on various reports. GL Month Process - The GL Month Report extracts on a line item detail, which is reported from the ACRL and PDCLS perspective. GAS Summary: No of Line Items No. of Line Items July 99 & Prior Month since July 99 As of Dec-99 12,848 87,574 As of Mar-00 10,802 123,694 Growth/Reduction <2046< 36,120 ---------------------- Forwarded by Regan M Smith/HOU/ECT on 03/02/2000 08:30 AM --------------------------- Regan M Smith 01/01/2000 02:08 PM To: Inja Chun/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Kenneth M Harmon/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: As discussed, below is the Dec99 Accrual metrics, by delivery period. Inja, As discussed, below is the Dec99 Accrual metrics, by delivery period. Again, this increased history creates additional loads on: mass draft process - having to redraft prior delivery periods accrual process - increases the accrual time, reporting retrieval, reporting, sending to MSA J/P. Example, we are nearing 10,000 line items alone of ACRL data for 016. period close reversal - each month we send a offset reversal for every prior month accrual overall data growth in detail tables to support prior months This can be also seen by running the accrual reprint retrieve report, or the finalized transaction by gl month report (ACRL).
