Derivative Settlement

Overview

Upon completion of the actualization process in the scheduling modules, product and secondary costs are automatically accrued on a movement by movement basis. Cost accruals are generated immediately or as soon as pricing is complete.

Features

  • Seamless and automatic generation of cost accruals after actualization is executed

  • Automated generation of secondary cost accruals upon approval

  • Automated calculation of formula pricing based on the formula parameters defined on the contract

  • Utilization of a provisional price when formula pricing is not complete with a subsequent correction after completion

  • Application of vendor invoices to accruals that closes the accrual and sets an open AP for the movement

  • Integrated revision process to handle updates and changes

 

 

Advantages

  • Integration with contract and scheduling modules automates the accrual process

  • Improved audit trail of accrual history as revisions are processed

 

Benefits

  • Immediate accrual of all product and secondary costs as scheduled volumes are actualized

  • Greater confidence in the accuracy of cost accruals

  • Streamlined process for approving vendor invoices for payment
