Back office functions and tasks

Schedule and balancing group management

Schedules corresponding to the completed trading deals are automatically exported at the click of a mouse. Freely selectable time horizons, a choice of different balancing groups and checks as to whether these are balanced make the exporting of schedules flexible and easy to administer. As a rule, the exports are carried out in ESS and KISS format by e-mail, FTP or locally. At the same time, of course, it is also possible to administer the schedules for sub-balancing groups. The flexible administration of the balancing group supports dealers with direct EEX access or without it (using an EEX broker), wholesale cooperatives, regional partners and purchasing pools in the automated (transnational) schedule management systems in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. A traffic light status indicator supports the automated workflow.

Import / export data management

It goes without saying that a wide variety of interfaces for data analysis and processing are provided for in E-Risk®POWER. The task manager administers the import of production and consumption forecasts as well as the import of stock exchange and OTC prices via the Internet, e-mail or locally. The import is carried out in various MSCONS, ASCII, CSV and Excel formats as standard. Here the application server enables fully automatic process control.

Settlement of accounts

All the contractual structures modelled in E-Risk®POWER are available for use in the Invoicing module. At the same time, as the result of almost unlimited freedom in how contracts are administered, almost any accounting rule can be reproduced. Contracts due to be invoiced in accordance with the contractual status that has been reached are invoiced in the appropriate contractual currency and taking into account the current VAT regulations. Individual invoices including accounting vouchers and netting lists can be issued in accordance with the specific accounting regulations in force.
All the accounting may be carried out for specific counter-parties and in different languages. Each invoice template may be adapted for a specific company and defined separately for each trading partner. All outgoing invoices can be transferred automatically to SAP.

Sales support

Quick and easy handling is a feature of the integrated sales support. With just a few clicks of the mouse, load profiles for new and existing customers can be rolled out in accordance with the day / type process, priced and generated directly from the system in the form of a bid. The bids are archived in the system database. All the pricing parameters (Value-at-Risk ratio, mark-ups, bid acceptance period, etc) are administered centrally and adapted to the specific company.
