Proposed solution summary
- As a new Market Participant, I want to be able to implement Electricity industry solutions and initiatives utilising industry systems that require me to be assigned a MPRC
- As an existing Market Participant, I want to be able to define my interactions with other Market Participants using unique Market Role code identifiers As the BSC, I want to be able to assign new MPRCs so that we can fulfil requests as part of new market solutions
- As a new or existing Market Participant, I want to be able to continue sending and receiving Market Messages which include the MPRC within the file
Problem Statement
Under the current logical format there are only 36 possible MPRCs available for the Electricity industry, and they have all been allocated. The BSC are therefore currently unable to allocate new MPRCs and propose to update the logical format of the J0001 (DI50001) ‘Market Participant Role Code’. REC owned Market Messages will need to be updated to accommodate the new logical format.

06/12/2023- This Change was implemented as part of the 6 December 2023 Extraordinary Release *No Market-wide Half Hourly Settlement impacts
Summary
This change looks to remove business rule 1177, from the Central Switching Service (CSS) Message Business Data Validation Rules, which mandates that all Suppliers have a ‘One Fail All Fail’ (OFAF) reference included in their Switching Operational Data record in CSS. This was not the intended design. CSS system functionality will be updated as part of an operational change, as agreed at Switching go-live. This change is required to align the Data Specification with the operation of the system.

Following a comprehensive review, the Code Manager has identified functionality improvements with the SDEP system. These will introduce useability improvements to the system, to allow users to better filter workflow and queries and to improve notifications received by Parties, to enable resolution of raised issues. Feedback from SDEP users stated that filtering options are limited to particular attributes and notification emails contain minimal supportive information for the parent communication.

Summary
It has been identified that gaps or misaligned references were transferred into the REC Data Specification at REC go-live. This Change Proposal seeks to fill these gaps and provide clarification for Parties. This will enable Parties to self-serve and reduce the risk of ambiguities in the current Data Specification resulting in incorrectly defined Market Messages. This change will update relevant legal text in the REC Data Specification to provide clarification and alignment from previous legacy documents to Parties. This will ensure existing Parties have a consistent understanding and new entrants are able to set up their systems appropriately.

- As a Registered Gas Supplier, I want to be able to readily access appropriate information relating to my RMP portfolio, so that I can resolve consumer facing billing issues more easily. As the GES Provider, I want my users to be able to access information that helps them fulfil their objectives (in line with REC Data Access principles), so that the service is used as efficiently as possible.

Problem Statement
When Registered Gas Suppliers need to resolve queries relating to meter reading history, they may need to access information that is currently only available to the Registered Shipper in GES. As a result, Registered Gas Suppliers may be unable to resolve these consumer facing issues on their own, as they do not have direct access to the required Registered Shipper only information.

Problem Statement
Where a Consumer initiates a Switch through a Supplier, PCW or TPI that utilises the EES API address searches can fail as the API only undertakes “fuzzy” matching. Address Search errors will then need to go through an exception handling process creating an inefficiency and producing a loss of confidence in the Switching process.

- As the ERDS Provider, I want to be able to indicate which appointment messages I need to receive a response for, so that I can understand which appointments have been successful in the SMDSP
- As an Electricity Supplier, I want Supplier appointments in the ERDS to match those held in SMDSP

Problem Statement
The implementation of Change Proposal R0044, will result in the Central Switching Service (CSS) providing an asynchronous response to the Electricity Retail Data Service (ERDS) upon a successful, or unsuccessful Smart Meter Data Retriever (SMDR) appointment within the SMDSP. This will significantly increase the volume of CSS messages, as there is currently no mechanism for the CSS to recognise when a response is required. The increased volume could have a significant impact on central system performance.
