GI 736 Question from Peterborough Utilities

The v3.1 Change Consumer Location Request IG says the enumerated values for the billing method do not change. I would expect that the new DistributorBillReadyRLI value would have been added here. If we have a non RPP customer and are doing a seamless move, would we not want to put DistributorBillReadyRLI under the bill method?

Test Scenario 1 Question from Veridian

After step 19, there should be a step referring to an enrollment response to be sent to Retailer B.

Step 20 indicates we should send an SA CPO lost to Retailer B, but that should be Retailer A (Since there was no SA TTR on the enrollment request, Retailer B will receive the SA CPO won).Step 21 should then reference Retailer A sending out the AAR for the invalid OTRN.Step 22 should say CPO won to Retailer B and CPO lost to Retailer A.If we do it this way, then LDCs will only have to work with one Retailer (A) and the LDC can act as Retailer B, because Retailer B will not have to generate any reject transactions.
