Review nomination actualization¶
The Nomination Actualization screen is used to review, adjust, and finalize actualized volumes against scheduled pipeline nominations. It provides a consolidated view of nomination details, receipt and delivery volumes, fuel impacts, imbalances, and BAV (Best Available Volume) calculations across a selected time range.
This screen plays a critical role in bridging scheduled nominations with actual operational outcomes, ensuring accurate downstream processing for gas accruals, imbalance management, and settlements.
The primary purpose of the Nomination Actualization screen is to:
- Review scheduled nomination data over a defined period.
- Actualize receipt and delivery volumes based on operational data.
- Manage and apply Best Available Volumes (BAV).
- Identify and analyze imbalances at nomination level.
- Push finalized actualized values for accrual, settlement, and reporting.
Prerequisites¶
Before using the Nomination Actualization screen, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
- The user has the add or modify permissions for the Pipeline Operations screen.
- Pipelines, receipt locations, and delivery locations are configured in the system.
- Transportation contracts and nominations exist for the selected period.
- Nominations are in a valid status (for example, Scheduled).
- Deal data (receipt and delivery deals) is available if Include Deals is selected.
Procedure to review nomination actualization¶
Step 1: Navigate to the Nomination Actualization screen¶
- Log in to the nGenue application.
- Click the Search icon and enter Nomination actualization in the search bar.
- Double-click Nomination Actualization to open the Nomination Actualization (Pipeline Operations) screen.
- The screen is divided into two sections:
- Nomination Query section: This section allows users to filter and load nomination records for actualization.
- Nomination Actualization: This section provides a high-level view of nominations that are eligible for actualization.
Step 2: Define Nomination Query criteria¶
This section allows users to filter and load nomination records for actualization. Fill in the below details to filters the nomination query:
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| Volume Type | Specifies the type of volume to be actualized. This controls how volumes are interpreted during actualization. |
| Pipeline (required) | Specifies the pipeline for which nominations are being actualized. This is a mandatory field. |
| Receipt location | Filters nominations by receipt location. When selected, only nominations associated with the specified receipt point are loaded. |
| Delivery Location | Filters nominations by delivery location. Useful for isolating specific downstream points. |
| Nomination ID | Filters records for a specific nomination identifier. |
| Ext. Legal Entity | Filters nominations based on the external legal entity associated with the deal or contract. |
| Int. Legal Entity | Filters nominations based on the internal legal entity responsible for the transaction. |
| Nom Tran Type | Filters nominations by transaction type (for example, Buy, Sell, Transport). |
| Exclude Receipt Pool | When selected, nominations associated with receipt pools are excluded from the results. |
| Exclude Delivery Pool | When selected, nominations associated with delivery pools are excluded from the results. |
| Production Month | Specifies the production month for which nominations are being reviewed. |
| Start Date | Defines the start date of the nomination actualization period. |
| End Date | Defines the end date of the nomination actualization period. |
| Transportation Contract | Filters nominations associated with a specific transportation contract. |
| Deal Number | Filters nominations linked to a specific deal number. |
| Ext. Business Unit | Filters by external business unit. |
| Int. Business Unit | Filters by internal business unit. |
| Include Deals | When selected, deal-level receipt and delivery details are included in the lower grids. |
| Include Storage Deals | When selected, storage-related deal data is included in the results. |
Click Load Records to load nomination data based on the selected filters into the Nomination Listing section.
Step 3: Review Nomination Listing¶
After clicking Load Records, nomination records are displayed in the Nomination Actualization section under the Nomination Listing grid.
This grid provides a high-level view of nominations that are eligible for actualization.
| Columns | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | The gas day associated with the nomination. |
| Pipeline | The pipeline on which the nomination is scheduled. |
| Receipt | Receipt point associated with the nomination. |
| Delivery | Delivery point associated with the nomination. |
| Contract Name | Name of the transportation or supply contract. |
| Rec Interconnect | Indicates the receipt interconnect location, if applicable. |
| Del Interconnect | Indicates the delivery interconnect location, if applicable. |
| NOMINATION_DETAIL_ID_EDIT | Internal identifier used for nomination editing and tracking. |
| NOMINATION_ID | Unique identifier for the nomination record. |
| NOMINATION_STATUS_ID | Displays the current status of the nomination. |
| NOMINATION_BAV_TYPE_ID | Indicates the BAV calculation type applied to the nomination. |
Step 4: Review Nom Details and BAV volumes¶
The Nom Details and BAV sections provide detailed volume-level information for each nomination.
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| BAV | Indicates whether Best Available Volume is applied to the nomination. |
| Receipt Volume | Actualized receipt volume for the nomination date. |
| Fuel Volume | Fuel volume deducted during transportation. |
| Delivery Volume | Actualized delivery volume after fuel and losses. |
| Imbalance | Difference between receipt and delivery volumes after fuel adjustments. |
| Receipt Vol | Displays the net receipt volume contributing to the nomination. |
Step 5: Review Receipt Deals and Delivery Deals¶
When Include Deals checkbox is selected in the Nomination Query section, deal-level information is displayed in the lower section of the screen.
Receipt Deals section¶
This section shows deal-level receipt data contributing to nomination volumes.
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Gas day for the receipt deal. |
| Supplier | Supplier associated with the receipt deal. |
| Pipeline | Pipeline on which the deal is executed. |
| BAV Volumes | Best Available Volumes derived from receipt deals. |
Delivery Deals section¶
This section shows deal-level delivery data contributing to nomination volumes.
| Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Gas day for the delivery deal. |
| Supplier | Supplier associated with the delivery deal. |
| Pipeline | Pipeline on which the deal is executed. |
| BAV Volumes | Best Available Volumes derived from delivery deals. |
Step 6: Review Storage Deals¶
When Include Storage Deals checkbox is selected in the Nomination Query section, storage deal-level information is displayed in the lower section of the screen (right next to the Deals tab).
Step 7: Apply and save actualized volumes¶
At the bottom of the screen, action buttons allow users to finalize actualization.
- Push BAV to All Records: Applies the calculated BAV values to all loaded nomination records. This ensures consistency across the dataset.
- Save All Edits: Saves all actualized volume changes, making them available for downstream processes such as gas accruals and settlements.
Results section explanation¶
Once saved, actualized nomination data becomes:
- Available for Gas Accrual processing
- Used in imbalance calculations
- Included in settlement and invoicing
- Reflected in pipeline operational reports.
Actualized values represent finalized operational volumes for the selected period.
Key points¶
- Pipeline is a mandatory filter in the Nomination Query section.
- Actualization should be performed only after nominations are finalized.
- BAV application directly affects imbalance and settlement values.
- Use Push BAV to All Records carefully, as it applies changes globally.
- Saved changes are irreversible without reprocessing nominations.
Summary¶
The Nomination Actualization screen provides a centralized mechanism to convert scheduled nominations into finalized, operationally accurate volumes. By reviewing nomination details, applying BAV logic, and validating receipt and delivery deals, users ensure accurate accruals, settlements, and regulatory reporting.
This screen is a critical control point in the end-to-end pipeline operations lifecycle.
