Requester’s Name: Bernedette Foisy / EDC/EGS Name: PECO Energy Company / Phone # : 215-841-4835
Date of Request: 2-25-00 / Affected EDI Transaction Set #(s): 810 LDC Consolidated Bill / E-Mail Address:
Requested Priority (emergency/high/low): high / Requested Implementation Date:
ASAP / Status:
Closed/Rejected

Brief Explanation (This will be copied into the description in the Change Control Summary Spreadsheet):

Change the 810 PA Note on the DTM150/151 segments to:

Required – Must match the service period dates in PTD*SU loop from the 867 transaction. If submitting charges at the rate level must match the PTD*PM loop on the 867

Detail Explanation (Exactly what change is required? To which EDEWG Standards? Why?):

The PA Note in the 810 implementation guideline for the DTM 150/151 segments states: Required – Must match the service period dates in PTD*SU loop from the 867 transaction.

PECO has an exception to this rule if an EGS is sending charges at the rate level. The 810 DTM150 must match the PTD “PM” loop on the 867.

EXAMPLE:

SU loop has a service period to-from date of 19991105 - 19991203

PM loop has a service period to-from date of 19991106 - 19991203. First Rate

PM loop has a service period to-from date of 19991105 - 19991202. Second rate

Segment: DTM Date/Time Reference

NJ Use: / Same as PA
Example: / DTM*151*19990201

Discussion: Brandon and Kim expressed disagreement with this approach. The 867 has dates in the “SU” Loop and there does not seem to be added benefit to having suppliers modify their systems to change the dates to the PM loop. Originally the dates were there as a check to be sure you are sending an 810 for the appropriate 867. Today we have the cross reference number so the dates become less meaningful.

PECO agreed to deal directly with their trading partners who are using the RATE loop to provide the billing information.
