Overview:

Pipeline scheduling is the next step in C3 after pipeline contracts are entered. The pipeline module facilitates tracking of pipeline contracts by cycle number. Pipeline actualizations feed directly to subsequent accounting modules after actualization is complete.

Features:

• Ability to schedule purchase, sale, and exchange contracts by cycle number across the major pipelines
  
• Availability of real time scheduled and delivered contract volumes while scheduling contracts
  
• Clear segregation of all volumes by pipeline cycle number
  
• Simple actualization process for marking pipeline movements as completed
  
• Ability to add secondary costs on a movement by movement basis
  
• Automatic feed to invoicing and accrual modules after actualization
  

Advantages:

• Simplified management of scheduled and unscheduled volumes
  
• Centralized scheduling of all transportation modes when used in conjunction with other modules
  
• Flexible reporting of current physical positions
  
• One time entry of scheduled and actualized volumes automatically feeds accounting modules
  
• One time entry of secondary costs automatically feeds accounting modules
  

Benefits:

• Timely knowledge of physical positions
  
• Single resource for scheduled and unscheduled positions
  
• Confidence in decision making for managing market changes
  
• Direct integration with contract and accounting modules
