I hope the following will give more clarification. Let me know if you have any questions or need more detail! Thanks, dg 3-9517 Sitara / Unify - Process * Scenario - Counterparty name changes on Sitara deal ticket after deal had been pathed, scheduled & bridged back from Unify. * Impact - zero impact to Logistics & Volume Management, absolutely harmless. Settlements has process in place to eliminate issues. * Process - Counterparty A in Sitara changes to Counterparty B. Ctprty A was on original path sent to pipeline. The new name (ctprty B) does bridge over to Unify. Ctprty A remains at the path level in Unify (gui display does not change) Ctprty B is now displayed at the deal level in Unify. The field is now highlighted to indicate a change occurred. (gui display changes only at high level, not on path) The Scheduler has choice to repath (if necessary), or not re-path If re-pathing occurs, the new counterparty name will be displaced on new path Unify pushes back the deal number & meter to Sitara (not ctprty info) Balancing works on deal number & meter only (not ctprty info) The confirmation desk utilizes the information in Sitara (where all information is correct) Volume Management utilizes the information in Unify for pipeline tie-out. (all information sent to pipeline is correct at the path level and will match up perfectly) Settlements utilizes information in Unify. Settlements recognizes that changed ctprty names changes contracts, which would create two notification entries If invoice did happen to go out to wrong ctprty, re-draft would occur. (note: there was an issues discovered on reports which IT is correcting now) Autonoms "Tom's words of warning" - Previously there was an issue when counterparty name changes took place after deals were pathed and nominated. Basically it would change a key on an EDI path (duns number) not affecting any other of the information already nominated to the pipeline. If the scheduler re-nominated, data at the pipeline would get doubled up and the scheduler would have NO way to correct the problem. In most cases, the schedulers would have to get the pipeline to manually cut the original nominated volume. This is not an issue with Unify (as explained above). (Dave - feel free to chime in if I left anything out.)

This change went in for the Deal Validation group. It gives them the ability to change counterparties names after bridge back. Impact to Logistics - Unify If a counterparty name change takes place to deals that have been bridge backed, it could cause problems on EDI pipes as that new counterparty name will flow over to Unify and repathing should eventually take place. One problem may be with the Imbalance data sets, which are not in production yet......(EDI Imbalance Qtys would not match up to paths) This may also cause an issue with the scheduled quantities (especially where nominations were sent for entire month) can't remember the rules on this one, but I think Unify does have some safe guards (idiot proofs) to force re-pathing. Unify does have the ability to over-ride duns numbers, yet would still cause an additional step for EDI the scheduler would need to think through in order to get a clean quick response. What are (if any) impacts to Vol Mgt if counterparty name changes take place? (prior periods? re-pathing?) I have a call into Diane and Dave both. After speaking w/ them, hopefully I can get a clear understanding of the true impact. I am sure we'll need to put some processes and procedures together for Deal Validation to follow when these type of changes are needed. Will keep you posted.

Some pipelines do not allow us to change counterparties after there is feedback - I assume for the same reasons we had this rule - it used to blow up our old scheduling systems (pre-UNIFY). Some pipelines will require a new deal and we will have to zero out the old deal. Before you make the change - make sure the logistics person is aware - just in case it causes problems with their pipeline. Sorry - I don't know which pipes these are - you will have to ask the UNIFY team. There is one rule still in place - you can change from ENA-IM East to ENA-IM Market East - but not from ENA-IM Texas to HPLC-IM HPLC - when changing business units - they must be the same legal entity. "Warning - not the same legal entity" Also - beware of making contract and counterparty changes to Service deals (Transport Capacity, Storage, Cash Out). Once the deal is invalidated - there are no rules. Don't forget - the items were locked down for a reason. If you invalidate a service deal - and change the previously locked down data that was validated - and someone used these deals in UNIFY - it is highly likely that the UNIFY deals and paths created using these deals will get corrupted. Always check with someone from UNIFY to make sure no one used these deals for anything in UNIFY. ---------------------- Forwarded by Thomas Engel/HOU/ECT on 04/05/2000 09:47 AM --------------------------- From: Scott Mills on 04/04/2000 07:38 PM To: Kathryn Cordes/HOU/ECT@ECT, Dana Daigle/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Elizabeth L Hernandez/HOU/ECT@ECT, Julie Meyers/HOU/ECT@ECT, B Scott Palmer/HOU/ECT@ECT, Stephanie Sever/HOU/ECT@ECT, Dianne J Swiber/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Steve Jackson/HOU/ECT@ECT, Thomas Engel/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sylvia A Campos/HOU/ECT@ECT, Linda S Bryan/HOU/ECT@ECT, Faye Ellis/HOU/ECT@ECT, Donna Consemiu/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Sitara Release (Re: Changes in Global due to Consent to Assignment) With the release that was put out Tuesday evening, Deal Validation should be able to change the counterparty on deals where the volume is something other than expected (e.g. confirmed, nominated, scheduled, etc.). In addition, this release will also capture "near-time" the contract changes that are made in global. This means that need for server bounces will not be necessary. New/Changes to contracts will show up without having to get out of deal manager. New Counterparties, and new/changes to facilities will require getting out of all active Sitara apps (except for launch pad). Once out of all apps, start a new app - the respective information that you are looking for will appear. I mention "near-time" because we are constrained by the amount of time it takes for the change in Global data to trigger an alert for Sitara who then updates its information SRM (x33548) Cyndie Balfour-Flanagan@ENRON 04/04/2000 03:41 PM To: Connie Sutton/HOU/ECT@ECT, Linda S Bryan/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kathryn Cordes/HOU/ECT@ECT, Scott Mills/HOU/ECT@ECT, Richard Elwood/HOU/ECT@ECT, Dave Nommensen/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kenneth M Harmon/HOU/ECT@ECT, Dana Daigle/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Kathryn Cordes/HOU/ECT@ECT, Elizabeth L Hernandez/HOU/ECT@ECT, Julie Meyers/HOU/ECT@ECT, B Scott Palmer/HOU/ECT@ECT, Stephanie Sever/HOU/ECT@ECT, Dianne J Swiber/HOU/ECT@ECT, Gayle Horn/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Brant Reves/HOU/ECT@ECT, Russell Diamond/HOU/ECT@ECT, Debbie R Brackett/HOU/ECT@ECT, Steve Jackson/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Changes in Global due to Consent to Assignment The following changes will be made in the Global Contracts database due to receipt of executed Consent to Assignment for the following contracts: Current Counterparty Name Contract Type Contract # 'New' Counterparty Name CES - Commonwealth Energy Services GISB 96029892 Commonwealth Energy Services CES - Samuel Gary Jr. & Associates, Inc GISB 96029302 Samuel Gary Jr. & Associates CES - South Jersey Gas Company GISB 96029143 South Jersey Gas Company CP name change and Contract Type correction (Contract Type different than that provided by CES) Per CES CES - Southwest Gas Corporation 1/1/98 GISB 96029146 Per Contract File CES - Southwest Gas Corporation 04/14/93 Master Purchase/Sale Interruptible (will edit Global #96029146) & CES - Southwest Gas Corporation 12/01/94 Master Sale Firm (created new Global record to accommodate this K, #96037402) Please note that Southwest Gas Corporation has consented to the assignment of both of these contracts.
