I know that there are a number of things that do not work as we had
anticipated in SAP. I also know that there are several things where we have to change our processes to accomodate differences or gaps in SAP. We also have significant issues with the timing of certain runs within SAP and a mismatch of that timing with our business processes. There was a concerted effort kicked off by the SAP team last week to try and identify and resolve issues. They met with my direct reports. However, we have to reconvene as we ran out of time to cover all issues! I have asked Leslie Reeves and Bryce to get back to me on even more detail on this example so that we can fully understand how much of this issue was attributable to human versus system. I will get back with you as I know more details and as I can share with you our list of first "hits" for SAP fixes or enhancements. Thanks for sharing this with me. --Sally From: William S Bradford 09/22/2000 04:04 PM To: Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Debbie R Brackett/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Perry Gas -SAP Override issue Sally, Are you aware of the problems with SAP? This error caused an incremental $600,000 credit loss to Perry Gas Companies that could have been prevented. Let me know if you have any questions.

This is fine, and then Willie was going to net the A/P and A/R. SAP went down after the statement was interfaced, but before Willie was able to block or net the payment. When SAP came back up the next day, the payment had already gone out and we were unable to recall the wire. If you have any further questions about this, call me. Thanks. From: Russell Diamond 09/22/2000 01:46 PM To: Willie Stewart/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Audrey Cook/HOU/ECT@ECT, Bryce Baxter/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Perry Gas -SAP Override issue Willie, Per our earlier conversation, can you or Audrey or Bryce, please give further explain to me as to why the funds were wired to Perry Gas for purchases from the counterparty instead on netting the amounts between purchases and sales. You mentioned to me the process of overriding the counterparty's that net on SAP, although because of timing, the override did not take place. Thank you, Russell
