this to the wider Metals group in London Louis Colarusso@MGUSA 15/02/2001 16:28 To: Craig Brown/SAP Systems/LON/ECT@ECT, Rayees Moizuddin/LON/ECT@ECT, Charlotte McKinty/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Sean Connor/LON/ECT@ECT, Mike Jordan/LON/ECT@ECT, Andrew Cornfield/LON/ECT@ECT, Marcelo Parra/NYC/MGUSA@MGUSA cc: Subject: SAP Implementation After a successful period 1 close by 1041 and 1123 I wanted to summarize the positives and negatives of the project in order to improve the process for the London Metals implementation. Positives: Seamless consolidation process with Enron worldwide Common design allows users in North America to access key financial data to help control London Metals business accounts receivable accounts payable Aging of accounts receivable for proper control monitoring Profit Center report functionality for controlling of business by business group Timing of close process in conjunction with Enron worldwide Cost center control by category link by design to corresponding profit center Cash control procedures utilizing the Treasury Work Station of Enron Corp. Direct posting of intercompany accounts to reduce duplicate entries Production of the Daily Profit Report direct from SAP utilizing the consolidation ledger SAP trail balance controlled by the ledger owner agrees with the DPR by profit center Negatives: FIT 3 testing should be expanded in order to identify all types of business flows and to evaluate how they are being treated in SAP. NY did a two day roll forward of equity which proved useful. This type of testing could be expanded for the London companies. Poor links of information between GCP system and TWS created many manual payments. This problem is being sorted out by a process outside the SAP implementation team. Strict intercompany common design rules around intercompany relationships have created a difficult control environment. SAP intercompany meetings are being conducted to create a system that adheres to the common design however allows better intercompany control features between broker and physical company. A special thanks goes out to the SAP team who's continued dedication on this project has made it a success: Charlotte McKinty Craig Brown Rayees Moizuddin Sean Connor Regards, Louis Colarusso Enron Metals & Commodity Corp E-Mail: louis.colarusso@enron.com
