The objective of these workshops is to classify each MCR by consensus as:

• Included for prioritisation

• Has a Significant improvement for all Suppliers and/or Network Operator(s) in terms of increased efficiency, reduced

transaction time , reduced work effort and/or compliance. These will be brought forward for Network Operator Impact

assessment.

• Not included for prioritisation

• Is not immediately required as the market has functioned without its implementation to date satisfactorily without

significant additional impact on MPs. These will not be brought forward for the Network Operator Impact assessment for

this release but if a synergy is identified it may be included in a package option.

• Withdrawn

• MPs agree that this MCR is to be assigned a permanent classification of "Withdrawn". If a similar requirement arises in

the future a new DR shall have to be raised.

MCR0069 Details

Date Raised 08.03.2006 Date Approved 04.11.2015

Requesting Organisation ESBN Jurisdictional Implementation Both

Version History Updated to V2.0 in 2015

Prioritisation History 2009 – 22nd of 22 , 2013 – 7th of 8, 2016 9th of 19 and 2017 – 9th of 9

Change Summary To allow Market Participants communicate using the full Irish character set, It is proposed

to modify the XML schema to allow all MPs to send and receive the following:

á, é, í, ó, ú, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú

This will involve an amendment to the definition of the Market Free text type character set.

Notes Version update in 2015 was to note potential dependencies between gas and electricity

and also jurisdictions for implementation

MCR0073 Details

Date Raised 05/01/2006 Date Approved 04/11/2015

Requesting Organisation ESBN Jurisdictional Implementation Both

Version History Updated to V4.0 in 2015 – updated to suggest Eircodes may alleviate requirement.

Prioritisation History 2009 - 21st of 22, 2010 -12th of 14, 2013 - 6th of 8, 2016 -10th of 10 and 2017 – 8th of 9

Change Summary The reason the MCR was initially raised was to ensure that where a supplier provides a ‘Person’ type

name that First Name be considered mandatory. Making first name mandatory would assist in

• Improving the quality of customer data held.

• Making customers in rural areas more readily identifiable, speeding up completion of service

orders.

Notes (Update as of 28.10.15) – …. It is suggested that the reasons stated above for the implementation of

mandatory first names may be achieved through the introduction of Eircodes either completely or

partially. It is suggested that when assessing the MCR during future prioritisation exercises, that the

current context of Eircodes be taken into consideration by MPs.

Prioritisation History Prioritisation rating as follows: 2010 – 13th of 14, 2013 8th of 8, 2016 5th of 10 and 2017 4th of 9

Change Summary The upgrade to the Central market system (to SAP ERP6) has included new functionality which

validates the format of email addresses. Currently there is no validation on email address formats.

Market Participants will need to adhere to the new email address format. If the validations fail, the

inbound message will be rejected with associated rejection message and code EMA.

Inbound Messages impacted: 010, 013, 016, 017

Outbound Messages impacted: 014R, 101R, 102R, 116R, 117R

Notes Suppliers are requested to follow the outlined email address standards from this MCR with

immediate effect. This will reduce the number of errors within the Central Market System.

Change Summary • This Request provides a single gathering point for a number of small technical changes to the

HBL and Harmonised Schema that arose during the course of the Harmonisation Projects

(Enduring Solution in NI and HSP in ROI) but were not possible to implement at that time.

• However, all changes will require some level of technical change in the implemented systems.

• Changes include correction of typographic errors in Schema Message names, removal of

spurious details in the schema and HBL codes corrections and updates.
