DR 0023 – Add Market Participant Business Reference Number to Messages 260, 261 and 311
Market Participant Business Ref needs to be a mandatory item on message 260 – Observation of
Problem, Damage or Tampering
Market Participant Business Ref needs to be a optional item on message 261- Resolution of Problem

DR 0070 – Sending readings for de-energised sites
Suppliers wishing to notify ESB Networks of a potential problem at an unmetered site should use the
market messages and processes as defined to support metered sites i.e. MPD 12.
Section 3.1 of this MPD should be updated as follows:
Unmetered reports of problems or damage will be identified at the Technical MPRN level for group
unmetered sites and for single point unmetered. The Technical MPRN will be used as the identifier to
track and process unmetered reports, as the MPRN would be used for a NQH or QH connection. The
same process and market message can be applied to single point and group unmetered process.
MCR 0011 – Refresh Messages
MPD 23 – Supplier Data Requests currently allows for the requesting and sending of refresh messages.
These messages are also catered for in the Market Messages database V 4.1 and the XML schema.
Following a review of the design ESB MOIP is now proposing to address the requirement to be able to
re-send market message related data to suppliers in the following manner:
Rather than having a suite of refresh messages covering a selected subset of market messages it is
proposed to provide a more general facility that will enable market participants to request the resending
of any given market message or all messages relating to a given MPRN
The requested “resend” message will be sent to the Supplier in exactly the same form as the original
message (the same transaction number and business reference number).
MCR 0010 – Validate EAI on 010 Message
It is proposed to make Economic Activity Indicator mandatory on 010 message in defined circumstances
(ie sites where MIC > 30kva).
An invalid value or blank value (for sites where MIC > 30kva) on the 010 message will be rejected on
101R or 102R messages.
The Reject reason code on 101R and 102R should be ‘IEA’ – Invalid/Incomplete EAI code’
MCR 0009 – Appointments Functionality
Suppliers will be allowed to make appointments for the following Call Types
• Re-Energise
• Re-Energise NPA
• Exch from D/T to S/T
• Exch from ST to D/T
• Remove NSH MT & T/S
• Install Token Meter
• Reset Token Meter
• De-Energise
• Remove Token Meter

Proposing to change the optionality of the Market Participant Business reference field on the 331

MCR 0007 – Sending Different data on the 111 message to old and new supplier
MM 111 Registration Cancellation confirms a cancellation on an MPRN to both the Old and New
Suppliers .
This DR proposes that the existing message with all the fields populated is sent to the New Supplier but
the Old Supplier’s message would only have the following fields populated :
• MPRN
• Supplier ID
• Cancellation Reason
• Effective From Date
MCR 0006 – Sending Different data on the 105 message to old and new supplier
Detail of Change Request
This DR proposes to make fields on the 105 Change of Supplier Confirmation message optional so that
the proposed existing version would go to the New Supplier , but that only the following fields are
populated in the 105 message to the Old Supplier:
• MPRN
• Meter Point Address
• Effective From Date
MCR 0005 – Change to field name on 114 message
Each of the market messages contains a field called Message Type in the header. Message 114
contains a second field called ‘Message Type’ (to indicate whether the message is a response or an
advice). It is proposed to rename this field to ‘Message Status’ in line with the XML schema and to avoid
confusion as these fields are used in two completely different contexts with different valid values and
field sizes.
MCR 0004 – Sundry Changes to Ver 4.1 Market Messages & Data Codes
Aggregation Messages – 501, 501S, 505, 505S
The first Additional Aggregation segment in messages 501, 501S, 505 and 505S should be documented as level 4.
second Additional Aggregation segment in messages 501, 501S, 505 and 505S should be documented as level 5

Optionality of Customer Service Special Needs and Medical Equipment Special Needs
The optionality of Customer Service Special Needs and Medical Equipment Special Needs is incorrect on messages
101, 105, 102N. These fields should be Optional not Mandatory.
MCR 0003 – Additions to Message 501 – Estimated Aggregated NQH Supplier Consumption – DNGP
Amend 501 message to include total EUF by profile and timeslot and the count of MPRNs used in
Aggregation run
Input file for aggregation run to be available on request. Format (probably CD) to be determined at later
date
DR 0006 Change to field name on 114 message
Each of the market messages contains a field called Message Type in the header. Message 114
contains a second field called ‘Message Type’ (to indicate whether the message is a response or an
advice). It is proposed to rename this field to ‘Message Status’ in line with the XML schema and to avoid
confusion as these fields are used in two completely different contexts with different valid values and
field sizes.
DR 0008 Defaulting Business Reference on Web forms
This DR proposes to make fields on the 105 Change of Supplier Confirmation message optional so that
