From: Rita Wynne @ ECT 03/29/2001 11:05 AM To: Bob M Hall/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Subject: New Profit Centers Bob, Per our conversation - on this past Tuesday, a group met from VM, Gas Acctg. and East Risk to discuss the recording of the 12 east desks and 7 central desks to SAP. Effective with March flow, each desks for Central and East will record to its own profit center in SAP (the wellhead desks and Texas were done in Feb.'s g/l). According to Gas Acct., they will calculate UA for each of the profit centers (19 in total). As we discussed, VM does not have the appropriate Unify reports or manpower to support this level of accounting at this time and for this month will continue to tie UA4 out as we have in the past using our same reports - Gas Acct. will have to sum their side of the UA4 calc. to match us. With the foresight of eventually going to profit center level accouting and reporting, there will need to be significant changes to our current back end systems and processes to handle this lower level of reporting. I believe the flash is already being done at the different profit centers, but all the downstream groups are still performing their analysis at a more consolidated level. There were discussions in the meeting that OA would not go to this lower level, but I am of the opinion that we all need to be consistent in our analysis and reporting across the organization - so if this is the path we take, then everyone's process will need to be able to handle this level of detail. Of course, no decisions were made in our meeting, and as I stated, for now, VM's process will remain unchanged for this month. Please let me know if you want to discuss further. Thanks!
