Clarifying requirement for continuous billing following an Erroneous Switch

04/10/2023 - Following the approval of R0138, this change has been withdrawn.
Summary
Schedule 30 (Resolution of Consumer Facing Switching and Billing Issues) includes requirements on Suppliers relating to the identification and resolution of Erroneous Switches. This includes a set of principles and outcomes that Supplier's must adhere to. One of the required outcomes of an Erroneous Switch is that the consumer is only billed once for the period of the Erroneous Switch, and that they are only billed by the Supplier they have a valid contract with. Paragraph 5.2 of the CFSB Schedule sets out that the Losing Supplier should accept responsibility for billing during the period of the Erroneous Switch. However, it is not explicitly clear that the Gaining Supplier should not bill the consumer for consumption during the period of the erroneous supply. This Change Proposal has been raised to review the wording of paragraph 5.2, or the resolution outcomes more generally, so there it is clear to Suppliers, and the REC PAB in their assurance activities, what the expectations are.

Summary
There are multiple observed instances of CSS incidents that have been raised that cannot be resolved without proactive engagement from the end user. There are currently no direct obligations on CSS Users to engage with the incident resolution process, or to provide up to date contact details, which can result in the CSS System Operator struggling to resolve incidents in a timely manner. This results in CSS incidents remaining unresolved and results in a degradation of the effectiveness of the switching process. This Change Proposal has been raised to address this issue.

06/11/2023 - Withdrawal adoption window closed.
Summary
The MPAS/ERDS Upload file has historically been a part of the Data Specification however during transition from the MRA, the process has been omitted. This change seeks to restore the file to the specification. Secondly, the file previously provided a cancellation reason code for Switches. Under the current REC arrangements (i.e. since CSS go live) Reason codes are not provided and have been defaulting to W which indicated a reason of “withdrawn” which may now be misleading. This Change Proposal has been raised to address these issues

Latest Update
09/04/2024 - Due to the MHHS impact on Service Providers, the technical code freeze and any MHHS impacts on the proposed solution, the Code Manager has reconsidered the priority of R0082 and believes that should be progressed following MHHS go-live. This Change Proposal has been withdrawn, and the Code Manager will consider raising a new change at the appropriate time following MHHS with consideration of the Codes Roadmap.
Summary
This CP seeks to address the following issues regarding the Unallocated Transaction Report (UTR) files provided by PPMIPs to the Code Manager each month: 1. There is no REC requirement for PPMIPs to submit a monthly file to the Code Manager 2. PPMIPs are currently submitting files in two different file formats 3. C&C is only able to load one of the two file formats The CP has been raised to introduce a requirement in the REC for PPMIPs to provide monthly Unallocated Transaction Report (UTR) files to the Code Manager in a single file format, set out in the REC Data Specification. With this format being one that can be loaded by C&C.

Proposed solution summary
- As a PPMIP, I want to have clear guidance on how and when I should submit my Unallocated Transaction Report files.
- As a Supplier, I want to receive accurate Unallocated Transactions in relation to prepayment meters that are not smart meters.
- As the Code Manager, I want visibility of the Unallocated Transaction Report.
- As the EES Provider, I want to be able to efficiently upload the Unallocated Transaction Reports.
Problem Statement
PPMIPs aren’t submitting UTR files in the same format, and one of these formats cannot be loaded by the EES Provider. There is also no obligation in the REC for these reports to be provided.
