4.      Additional Agenda Items -- Katherine Meiners

  • Clarification of dates in 867_04s.  The guide shows it possible to have multiple DTM~140s in an 867_04 for an ESI ID with multiple meters.  In addition, those dates can be different from each other.  Is there any reason why these dates should be allowed to be different?  If the dates are different, which date should ERCOT use as the Start Date for the order that this transaction is completing?
    • Bill Reily will look into the specific example and bring back to TX SET with more details.

o       TX SET will need to correct the example in the guide 2 of 5 found on page 19 of the 867_04 Implementation Guide. 

  • SIR 10559 -- Currently ERCOT is inconsistently validating on the number of digits in a zip code.  Should ERCOT be failing zip codes that are between 5 and 9 digits?  Or allowing them to pass TX SET Validations?

o       Service address zip codes should only be 5 or 9.  Anything else will be rejected by ERCOT 

o       ERCOT will implement this validation.

  • SIR 10528 - Backdating Transactions -- ERCOT Systems don’t recognize some very old dates as dates and will not reject for backdated.  ERCOT would like to know what date should be used to put in validation such as not allowing anything prior to 01/01/1999.  Specifically 814_04s and 814_20s.

o       There is no reason either of these transactions should come in with a date prior to 01/01/1999 so using this date is fine. 

o       ERCOT will implement this validation.
