Background

Status: Approved for Texas SET 5.0
Date Submitted: 09/16/2021
Submitter Name: Kathryn Thurman
Submitter Company: ERCOT
Emergency: No
Sections: 814_01, 814_03, 814_04, 814_05, 814_08, 814_12, 814_14, 814_16, 814_18, 814_20, 814_22, 814_24, 814_26, 814_28, 814_PC, 650_01
Description: There have been instances where a customer name was submitted containing nothing but a comma in the EDI transaction. Because the Texas SET Guide describes the name field as being free-form Alpha numeric and between 1 and 60 characters, a value of a comma was accepted and passed to downstream market participants.
Reason: This change control adds clarification to all name fields that the use of a comma is only valid when associated with a Customer name. After implementation of this change control name fields populated with only a comma will be considered invalid and will be rejected by ERCOT and the TDSP. Also included are updates to Change Control 2020-827 to add comma language to the new Power Outage Contact PER~PO
Version: Future
Protocol Impact: No
