Transferring Supply shipper account balances from GMS to LINK

As part of the LINK transition, all supply shipper cumulative imbalances will be moved to the matching receipt point under each shipper's applicable firm contract in LINK. In cases where two firm opposing contracts exist, the imbalance will be assigned to the firm contract designated to Station #2. Preliminary imbalances will be entered and updated into LINK as follows:

-          On September 29^th, the GD28 end of day cumulative imbalance will be copied from GMS and displayed in LINK for September 30^th gas day.  

-          On October 2^nd, the previously copied imbalance for GD30 (from GD28 end of day cumulative imbalance) will be overwritten with the actual GD30 GMS imbalances.

Shippers can access the GMS report Estimate / Suspense Account Imbalance Summary to confirm the imbalance that is being brought over on each day; the net total imbalance will be made up of the shipper estimate account and the suspense account. Shippers can see this imbalance  in the Shipper Imbalance Summary  screen in LINK.

Westcoast strongly recommends that shippers have their supply accounts cleaned up as much as possible prior to end of day GD28.
