Delivery PDAs
  • There are two levels of allocations at a delivery meter:
  • Delivery Meter Operator Allocation
  • Allocation of actual flow by the operator to shipper contracts. All shipper contracts that nominate to the delivery meter will be available on the Operator PDA to allocate.
  • Delivery Meter Shipper Activity Allocation
  • Once the delivery meter operator sets the PDA to allocate on a shipper contract level, the shipper can set the Shipper PDA to allocate between the various activities scheduled to that meter.
