Price Formula Associations

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The is the tab where price/cost formulas are associated to a contract meter/well.  A meter/well can be setup to have different price/cost formulas over time (date effectiveness).  A meter/well is able to utilize the full capabilities of EnergySteward.com price/cost formulas (volume tiers, external price/cost indices & baskets, floors, ceilings, etc.).  These price formulas can be assigned (if already setup on the contract) directly from this screen OR they can be associated to the various meters/wells from the contract price formula setup screens. Important note:  When you modify these contract meter/well price/cost formula associations then the underlying deals which reference this contract are automatically synchronized.
