Technical Debt reduction – Enhancement to asset exchange process for Class 1 and 2 Meter Points

Summary

This change seeks to ensure that the read history of a Class 1 or 2 SMP, following meter exchange, is populated with accurate estimated reads in a timely manner and these are issued to the Shipper and DMSPs via existing file interfaces (MDR/DDR). This will ensure that all parties have an accurate view of the read history, future estimated reads are accurate and any associated risk on submission of future actual reads is reduced.

The required changes will be internal to the CDSP and utilisation of existing file formats and process will be sought in order to pass updates to Shippers and the DMSP. The analysis and corrective action will be undertaken in a support and maintenance capacity and, therefore, the proposed release will be ad hoc, in line with other maintenance work, to deliver benefits immediately.
