ePipeMaster’s Nominations and related modules provides oversight to all gas scheduling activity and serves as an customer activities version of ePipeMaster’s Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB). The feature displays information for all customers; whereas, the EBB only provides the level of information that marketers and Industrial & Commercial (C&I) customers require for supporting their flowing gas business processes. The data entered into the customer activities modules populate seamlessly into the public section of the EBB.
The nomination process is how those who want to transport gas request space on the pipeline. From the Nominations module, ePipeMaster users have the ability to create, retrieve and edit nominations, calculate fuel on nominations, check the available space on firm contracts (contract MDQ), and look up all information necessary to create a nomination.
Parties wishing to have access to nominations information, whether to view nominations online or to submit nominations via the online screens or via Flat Files or EDI, must have the proper roles assigned to them. Roles can be assigned by each Business Associate's (BA's) designated System Security Administrator (SSA).
ePipeMaster supports a variety of service of nominations, transportation, pooling, storage, pre-determined allocation (PDA), etc.
