Subject: re : pg & e texoma volumes daren and lauri : we do have a problem with some of our mirrored meters . when mips receives an " incomplete " from the parent meter it sends a - 0 - to pops . yes , this is a big problem . our pops team ( romeo d ' souza ) has identified this problem and notified mips . however , he was told this was not a priority item . in the mean time we are overriding the volumes in pops with the estimated volumes . this particular meter was correct last night , the 14 th rolled last night from mips and overrode the bav with a - 0 - from day 14 forward . this was corrected this morning and the meter re - allocated . thanks , charlotte lauri a allen 03 / 21 / 2000 09 : 04 am to : robert e lloyd / hou / ect @ ect , tom acton / corp / enron @ enron , charlotte hawkins / hou / ect @ ect cc : daren j farmer / hou / ect @ ect , pat clynes / corp / enron @ enron , bryan hull / hou / ect @ ect , gary a hanks / hou / ect @ ect subject : pg & e texoma volumes in reviewing some of the imbalance numbers , i discovered that valero texoma ( # 71 ) bav volumes have not fed into pops since 3 / 14 causing an out of balance at the meter in excess of 500 , 000 mm month to date . the more critical part of this problem , however , is that pops has fed 0 volumes back to sitara on some of the hplc deals . this means that these purchase volumes ( expenses ) have not been picked up in tom ' s p & l and are , instead , sitting in ua 4 . to the extent that the purchase prices vary from the ua 4 value , the p & l may take a hit when these actual volumes flow through . i realize that kim is out and that you guys are stretched thin , however , a problem of this magnitude needs to be addressed as soon as it ' s discovered . someone needs to be overriding the 0 volumes so that sitara is receiving correct information and the p & l is kept as accurate as possible . please give me a call if you have any questions .
