21/05/2024 - This change proposal has been withdrawn and the adoption window is closed. There is no longer the requirement for the requester to have Enquiry Services Data.
Summary
There are organisations that are named in Schedule 12 - Data Access that are not recorded in the gas and/or electricity Data Access Matrix (DAM). This means it is not possible for the Code Manager to provision them access. All organisations listed in Schedule 12 to access data in the REC should have an entry in the Data Access Matrices. This Change Proposal has been raised to review the Schedule and DAMs and take forward the necessary changes.

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.

Proposed solution summary
- As the Code Manager, I want the REC to reflect the intended design and align to the CSS functionality so that I do not need to operate a workaround As the Switching Operator, I want the REC Data Specification to reflect the functionality as designed so that my obligations are clear
- As an Energy Supplier, I want the SOD, relating to my Market Participant Identifier/s (MPIDs), to accurately record my OFAF reference so that my OFAF qualification status is clearly understood
