NECRD and NEC both agree that the email address in the 814_24 does not add any value. We would suggest that the email address be removed from the 814_24, rather than having it added to the 814_03. It seems that this option would be less work/coding for the market. TX SET approved the issue and requested that a change control should be written to remove the EM Communicaton Number Qualifier from the 814_24.

Description:
TX SET guide for 814_24 allows a Communication Number Qualifier of EM for Electronic Mail. This allows the submitter of the 814_24 to specify an email address as the contact type. The 814_03 does not allow this contact type. When ERCOT receives an 814_24 with an email address contact type on an ESI ID with a CSA agreement, ERCOT tries to create an 814_03 with the values provided on the 814_24. Since the email contact type is not valid on an 814_03, these 814_03s are failing ERCOT’s outbound validations.
Reason:
Recommend adding EM as a valid Communication number qualifier on the 814_03.
