Detail of Request Reason for Request
To implement compliance in RoI with SI 463, this Change Request has been drafted for changes that are required in
the RoI Retail Market only.
Jurisdictional Implementation in the Change Request is flagged as Both due to the COBL, Market Message,
Webforms and Schema Impacting elements of this Change Request.
Proposed Solution
Current Implementation in RoI
At present to identify customers who have vulnerability, Suppliers and ESBN use 7 vulnerable customer Data Codes
which are classed under Customer Services Special Needs. These are:
0001 Visually Impaired
0002 Speech Impaired
0003 Hearing Impaired
0004 Elderly
0005 Language Difficulty
0006 Learning Difficulty
0007 Mobility Impaired
In addition there are 2 Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes , which currently are:
0003 Life Support
0004 Non Life Support.
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 2 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
Currently, Suppliers can not log d/e npa for Life Support customers at any time of the year or for customers flagged
as Elderly during the winter months, i.e. 1st November to 31st March. The Market Message 017 is automatically
rejected.
Since the introduction of SI 463, ESB Networks manually check d/e npa orders on a daily basis and cancel d/e npa
orders that have a Non-Life Support flag (0004). From 1st November to 31st March, ESB Networks also cancel d/e
npa orders logged for customers with a CSSN flag.
Key Changes that are needed to implement SI 463 in RoI
SI 463 states that all customers with a Vulnerable Customer attribute should NOT be de-energised during the winter
months, i.e. from 1st November to 31st March and that all customers with a reliance of medical equipment should
not be de-energised at any time of the year.
In order to be fully complaint with SI 463 of 2011 a new VC attribute should be added to capture mental health.
The Priority Services Register (PSR) includes customers who are on Life Support and Non-Life Support medical
equipment. Customers registered on this register should not be disconnected at any time during the year for non-
payment of account. The Special Services Register (SSR) includes customers who are vulnerable to disconnection
during the winter due to sensory, physical, mobility or mental health issues. Customers registered on this register
should not be disconnected for non-payment of account between 1 November and 31 March.
Changes must be made to reject all de-energise NPA requests from 1st November to 31st March for all Vulnerable
Customers which are classified in the SSR.
Customers who are registered as PSR can not be De-Energised NPA at any time. This means that Market Message
017 for De-Energised NPA must be rejected by the Central Market System whenever it is sent by the Registered
Supplier.
RoI Special Services Register (SSR)
Changes must be made to reject all de-energise NPA requests from 1st November to 31st March for all Vulnerable
Customers which are classified in the SSR. There will be ten classifications. The SSR for RoI will be populated by
using the Customer Service Special Needs Details Data Codes which will indicate the type of special needs that a
customer has.
Customer Service Special Needs Details Data Codes that will be valid for use for Vulnerable Customers who are
on the RoI SSR
These are the ten SSR code values that will be valid when this Change Request is implemented:
0001 Visually Impaired
0002 Speech Impaired
0003 Hearing Impaired
0004 Elderly
0005 Language Difficulty
0006 Learning Difficulty
0007 Mobility Impaired
0008 Dexterity Impaired
0009 Mental Health
0010 Other
NB: New code 0010 Other should only be used when none of the other codes 0001 thru 0009 can be used.
Note: some changes are being made to the list of Customer Service Special Needs Details Data Code values that
are currently valid for RoI: see Data Codes section below for full details.
In general and unless otherwise documented , the implementation for the SSR will stay as-is via the use of the
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 3 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
CustomerServicesSpecialNeeds segment in Market Messages 010,016,017 with its field
CustomerServicesDetailsCode , and the deletion or addition of one or multiple via the SpecialNeedsDeleteDetails
segment on the 013 Market Message with its fields DeleteCustomerServiceDetails Flag and
CustomerServicesDetails Code . This means for example that it will still be possible for a Supplier to add one or
multiple SSR code values onto the one MPRN on one MM010,013,016,017, and to delete one or multiple SSR code
values from the one MPRN on one 013MM.
RoI Priority Services Register (PSR)
Codes that will be valid for use for Vulnerable Customers who are on the RoI PSR
The proposal is to align the RoI Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes with NI which gives
information on the Medical Equipment on which the customer is reliant. Therefore the PSR for RoI will be
populated by using the values that are available and valid for use in RoI from the list of Medical Equipment Special
Needs details Data Codes.
These are the fourteen PSR code values that will be valid in RoI when this Change Request is implemented. They
and will be made available to RoI Suppliers by using the Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Code:
CL Electric Chair Lift
EH Electric Hoist
EM Electric Mattress/Bed
FR Vital Medicine Requiring Refrigeration
HD Home Dialysis
NB Nebuliser
NP Peg Tube Feeding Pump
OC Oxygen Concentrator
PN Total Parental Nutrition Machine
PV Patient Vital Signs Monitoring Systems
SL Electric Pressure Stairs Lift
SP Suction Pump
VT Ventilator
OT Other
NB: New code OT Other should only be used when none of the other codes can be used.
Note: some changes are being made to the list of Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Code values that
are currently valid for RoI: see Data Codes section below for full details.
Multiple PSR code values : Multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs details
This Change Request will allow for Multiple PSR code values for the one MPRN, in RoI.
It will be possible for a Supplier to add none, one or multiple PSR code values onto the one MPRN on one Market
Message 010,013,016,017.
It will be possible to remove none, one or multiple PSR code values from the one MPRN on one Market Message
013.
Changes needed to facilitate multiple PSR codes
Changes will need to be made to the Schema , Market Messages and COBL to allow for none, one or multiple
Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes to be populated by Suppliers for the one MPRN on a single
Market Message viz 010, 016, 017 ; for Suppliers to add or remove none, one or multiple Medical Equipment
Special Needs details Data Codes on Market Message 013, and for the CMS to populate none, one or multiple
Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes values for the one MPRN on Market Messages 101 and 105.
Webforms for RoI for Market Messages viz 010,016,017 will need to be changed to accommodate the sending by
RoI Suppliers of none, one or multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes for PSR customers, and
for Suppliers to add or remove none, one or multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes on
Market Message 013.
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 4 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
Market Messages 101 and 105 will need to be changed in the Schema and COBL to accommodate the new facility of
multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs details being populated by the CMS.
None, one or multiple SSR and PSR code values for the one MPRN on the one Market Message
As part of this Change Request it will be possible for a Supplier to add none, one or multiple SSR code values as well
as none, one or multiple PSR code values onto the one MPRN on one MM010,013,016,017.
It will also be possible for a Supplier to delete one or multiple SSR code values as well as one or multiple PSR code
values from the one MPRN on one MM013.
Full details of all the changes that are needed to Webforms, Market Messages, Schema and COBL to accommodate
Multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs are contained in the relevant sections of this Change Request.
Retail Market Participant Extranet
The Retail Market Participant Extranet will need to be changed.
Full details of all the changes that are needed to the Retail Market Participant Extranet are contained in the Briefing
Document section of this Change Request.
Webforms for RoI
Webforms for RoI will need to be changed to accommodate the new Customer Service Special Needs Details and
the new Medical Equipment Special Needs details.
Full details of all the changes that are needed to the Webforms for RoI are contained in the Market Messages
section of this Change Request
Downloadable Meter Point files
Two of the five Downloadable Meter Point files viz domS_CUST and COMM_CUST are proposed to be changed to
accommodate the existing and new SSR and PSR values, as well as retaining an ability to display the Medical
Institution Code 0005. A new Display on Extranet Field is proposed to be added to the domS_CUST.
Key changes proposed are :
domS_CUST Downloadable Meter Point Detail File
1. Change the structure of the domS_CUST Downloadable Meter Point Detail File and allow for the
population of up to 10 SSR Data Code values and 14 PSR Data Code values
2. Change the population of the domS_CUST Downloadable Meter Point Detail File so that it is based on the
content of the Display on Extranet data field.
Change the Display on Extranet data field from A Boolean message flag to indicate whether Life/Non life
support flag should be displayed on the ROI MP Extranet to A Boolean message flag to indicate whether
the Priority Services Register code(s) for the MPRN should be displayed on the ROI MP Extranet and the
domS_CUST Downloadable Meter Point Details File
For the avoidance of doubt all SSR values for an MPRN would currently be displayed on the domS_CUST
Downloadable Meter Point Detail File and no change is proposed however this of course is open to
discussion. This means that all new SSR code values will be displayed on the domS_CUST where they
are available for an MPRN viz 0008 (Dexterity Impaired), 0009 (Mental Health), 0010 (Other)
3. Add an extra column Display on Extranet and where it exists at the meter point then populate this new
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 5 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
field in the downloadable file with either Y or N. If it does not exist at the meter point then this field is not
populated in the downloadable file.
COMM_CUST Downloadable Meter Point Detail File
4. Change the structure of the COMM_CUST Downloadable Meter Point Detail File to allow the population of
one coded value i.e. 0005 (Medical Institution)
Further details are contained in this document
Work for Suppliers:
Supplier will need to check with the customer if that customer consents to a new Medical Equipment Special Needs
details Data Code being displayed on the Retail Market Participant Extranet.
There is a requirement for suppliers to do a mapping to the new codes that change from Life/Non Life to the new
codes. This will need to be done in good time and advised to ESB Networks before the cutover to the new values
can happen. More work will be needed to understand how best to make the change over to the new codes in the
CMS. This will be discussed and agreed with the IGG as part of the implementation work of this Change Request.
There will need to be further work to assess the impact of work in progress items before cutover which have the
old codes. This could mean that there may be a freeze on updating SSR and PSR Data Codes on Market Messages as
work in progress which wont have completed before cutover could have the potential to be rejected by the
schema or other validations. This will be discussed and agreed with the IGG as part of the implementation work of
this Change Request.

Schema , COBL and Market Message Changes to allow for Multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs
details Data Codes
Note: MPDs should be updated as relevant in their Process Step descriptions or Supplementary Information
section with the following:
A Changes will need to be made to the schema, Market Messages and COBL to allow for Multiple
Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes to be populated for the one MPRN.
The proposal is to add a new MedicalEquipmentSpecialNeeds segment into the schema.
Note: the current schema name for the Data Item Medical Equipment Special Needs details is
MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode and there is no proposal to change this.
The schema will be changed so that this new MedicalEquipmentSpecialNeeds segment will be added into Market
Messages 010,016,017,101 and 105.
The segment use for the new MedicalEquipmentSpecialNeeds segment will be OptM which will allow for either
none, one or multiple MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values to be populated by Suppliers on any of Market
Messages 010,016,017.
Multiple occurrences of this new segment will be possible, and where multiples are provided they each need to
contain one MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value per occurrence.
When this segment is populated by a Supplier with a valid MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value, that value will
be populated in the CMS.
Where the new MedicalEquipmentSpecialNeeds segment is populated by Suppliers in any of Market Messages
010, 016, 017 then at least one MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value must be populated.
Market Messages 101 and 105 will also be changed to allow for none, one or multiple
MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values to be populated by the CMS in the new MedicalEquipmentSpecialNeeds
segment.
The segment use for the new MedicalEquipmentSpecialNeeds segment will be OptM which will allow for
either none, one or multiple MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values to be populated by the CMS in any of
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 7 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
Market Messages 101 and 105
Each MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode that is added to the CMS from the 010 message will be confirmed to the
Supplier on Market Message 101 in the case of a New Registration or 105 for a COS.
B. The use of Market Message 013 for the Addition and Deletion of MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode
Changes will need to be made to the schema, Market Messages and COBL to allow for Multiple Medical Equipment
Special Needs details Data Codes to be deleted for the one MPRN.
The proposal is to add a new MedicalEquipmentDetails segment into the schema.
Note: the current schema name for the Data Item Delete Medical Equipment Special needs is
DeleteMedicalEquipmentNeedsFlag and there is no proposal to change this.
The schema will be changed so that this new MedicalEquipmentDetails segment will be added into Market
Message 013. This new segment will contain two fields which are mandatory fields in cases where Suppliers
populate the MedicalEquipmentDetails segment viz
DeleteMedicalEquipmentNeedsFlag , which is a Boolean flag
MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode
The segment use for the new MedicalEquipmentDetails segment will be OptM which will allow for either none, one
or multiple DeleteMedicalEquipmentNeedsFlag and MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values to be populated by
Suppliers on Market Messages 013.
Use of MedicalEquipmentDetails segment The segment use for the new MedicalEquipmentDetails segment will be OptM which will allow for either
none, one or multiple DeleteMedicalEquipmentNeedsFlag and MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values to be
populated by Suppliers on one Market Messages 013.
When this segment is populated, the processing will be to add or delete the MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode
from the CMS depending on the population of the flag in the DeleteMedicalEquipmentNeedsFlag field.
The DeleteMedicalEquipmentNeedsFlag will be populated by Suppliers with a true or a 1 for a deletion or
alternatively a 0 or false will need to be populated for an addition.
Multiple occurrences of this new segment will be possible : there must be one MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode
value per occurrence of this segment on the Market Message 013. The processing will be to add or delete each
code to the CMS as requested by the supplier on the 013.
Where there are multiple MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode updates populated on the Market Message 013 the
114 confirmation message does not specifically state that the update was successful for every code but that
will be implicit.
Suppliers can inform ESBN of multiple additions and deletions on one inbound 013 Market Message. If the CMS
receives a single or multiple invalid MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode on the 013 Market Message then it will not
be processed any further, and no updates will be made to the CMS. A single 014R Rejection Message will issue
with a single rejection reason code of IA.
C. Webforms Changes
Webforms for RoI will need to be changed to accommodate the new Customer Service Special Needs Details and
the new Medical Equipment Special Needs details.
Customer Service Special Needs Details Webforms 010,013,016,017
Existing Customer Service Special Needs Details which are currently Valid in NI but Not Valid in RoI will be changed in the Webforms list of values on the Special Needs tab to become Valid in RoI as
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 8 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
well as remaining Valid in NI:
0008-Dexterity Impaired
New Customer Service Special Needs Details which will be added to the Webforms list of values on the Special Needs tab to become Valid in RoI but not NI:
0009-Mental Health
0010-Other
Medical Equipment Special Needs details Webforms 010,013,016,017
New Medical Equipment Special Needs details which will be added to the Webforms list of values to become Valid in RoI but not NI:
OT-Other
Existing Medical Equipment Special Needs details which are currently Valid in NI but Not Valid in RoI will be changed in the Webforms list of values to become Valid in RoI as well as remaining Valid in NI:
CL-Electric Chair Lift, EH-Electric Hoist, EM-Electric Mattress/Bed, FR- Vital Medicine Requiring
Refrigeration, HD-Home Dialysis, NB-Nebuliser, NP-Peg Tube Feeding Pump, OC-Oxygen Concentrator,
PN-Total Parental Nutrition Machine, PV-Patient Vital Signs Monitoring Systems, SL-Electric Pressure
Stair Lift, SP- Suction Pump, VT-Ventilator
Existing Medical Equipment Special Needs details which are currently Valid in NI but Not Valid in RoI and which , for the avoidance of doubt , will Not be changed in the Webforms and therefore will remain Not Valid in RoI
MS-Multiple Sclerosis
Medical Equipment Special Needs details which will be Removed from the Webforms list of values and will no longer be available for use in ROI:
0003 Life Support, 0004 Non-Life Support
Multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs details values for PSR customers
The Webforms for RoI for each of these four Market Messages will be changed to accommodate the
sending on a single message of multiple Medical Equipment Special Needs details codes for PSR customers
viz 010,013,016,017
Note: the exact locations of the Medical Equipment Special Needs details field on the Webforms screens will
be communicated during the implementation phase. See embedded document for illustration and further information
Data Definitions The Data Definitions for three Data Items will be changed as follows
Customer Service Special Needs Details will change from A code indicating the type of special needs that

Comments MCR1096 Customer Service Special Needs expansion of ROI code set to align with NI practice is an approved
Market Change Request. The assumption when drafting this Change Request is that MCR1096 will be superseded
and the requirements in it will be incorporated in this Change Request. Therefore the value 0008 "Dexterity
Impaired is included as a Customer Service Special Needs Details Data Code which will be made available for use in
RoI by this Change Request.
At time of drafting this change request a separate DR1169 Addition of Postal Code to two Downloadable Meter
Point Details Files is an approved Discussion Request. The changes that are proposed in that Discussion Request to the Domestic MRPN Details (domS_CUST.csv) and Commercial MPRN Details (COMM_CUST.csv) are included in this
Change Request 1173. However as DR1169 is not yet an approved Market Change Request the changes for that are
not intended to be proposed for delivery as part of Change Request 1173, and as normal, a separate scheduling
exercise would need to be agreed at the appropriate Industry forums.
The definition of Mental Health is outside of the scope of this Change Request.
Medical Equipment Special Needs details values 0003 Life Support and 0004 Non Life Support are retained in the
schema until a future time when it is certain that none of these values will be sent from the CMS on Market
Messages.

` Process Step Descriptions or Supplementary Information Changes
MPDs should be updated as relevant in their Process Step descriptions or Supplementary Information section
with information contained throughout this Change Request, as well as the following
1. Suppliers should only be able to add a PSR or SSR code to DG1 or DG2 customers. Requests from
Suppliers to add a PSR or SSR code for any other DG group will be rejected with Reject Reason Code IA
when Suppliers notify on any message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or 017MM that an MPRN is to be flagged as a PSR
or SSR Customer for any of the DUoS Groups for which PSR or SSR codes do not apply.
2. Life Support and Non Life Support codes in Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes
Suppliers will no longer be able to send to the CMS the Life Support or Non Life Support Medical Equipment Special
Needs details Data Codes 0003 or 0004 respectively, and therefore it is proposed to reject any Market Message
010,013,016 or 017 with Reject Reason Code IA where Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Codes 0003
or 0004 are received by the CMS.
3. Suppliers will not be able to log a Vulnerable Customer in RoI as Multiple Sclerosis as
MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value MS for RoI customers will not be a valid value for RoI. Requests from
Suppliers to add a MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value MS for any RoI Customer will be rejected with Reject
Reason Code DIJ when Suppliers notify on any message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or 017MM that an MPRN is to
be flagged as Vulnerable Customer with MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode MS.
4. Medical Institution code 0005 Medical Equipment Special Needs details
4.1 Suppliers will continue to be able to record one Medical Institution code for an MPRN that is registered at DG5
and higher. This will continue to be possible by using the Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Code
0005 Medical Institution
4.2 Requests from Suppliers to add Medical Institution code 0005 to any MPRN that is DG1, DG2, DG3 or DG4 will
be rejected with Reject Reason Code IA when Suppliers notify on any message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or
017MM that a customer with any of these Duos Groups is to be flagged as a Medical Institution.
4.3 Only one Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Code value 0005 Medical Institution is valid for a single
MPRN at any point in time. Requests from Suppliers to add multiple Medical Institution code 0005 for any single
MPRN on any message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or 017MM will be rejected with Reason Code IA.
4.4 Where a Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Code value 0005 Medical Institution is submitted for an
MPRN then no other PSR or SSR is valid on the same Market Message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or 017MM and in
any case where such a combination of values would be received from Suppliers they will be rejected by the CMS
with Reason Code IA.
5. COS
5.1 COS with no COLE
After this Change Request is implemented, in the COS scenario where there is no Cole and PSR(S) codes were held
in the CMS , and no PSR(S) codes are provided by the New Supplier on Market Message 010, or the new Supplier
does provide PSR(S) codes on the Market Message 010 but leaves out one or more PSR(S) codes which currently are
recorded on the CMS, then the PSR(s)codes that were previously held in the CMS but not advised on the Market
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 12 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
Message 010 will be overwritten in the CMS with Blanks.
In this case, the 102 Market Message will display a 1 meaning a logical value of True in the VCAttributeDeleted flag
and that a PSR(S) that is valid for RoI code will be overwritten with blanks.
An exception is where the MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value is 0005 Medical Institution and in this case the 102
Market Message will display a 0 in the VCAttributeDeleted flag meaning a logical value of False and that no PSR
that is valid for RoI will be overwritten.
For other COS with no COLE scenarios where PSR(S) codes were held in the CMS, and all the same PSR value(s) are
provided by the New Supplier on Market Message 010, the PSR(s) values that were previously held in the CMS will
be retained, and the 102 Market Message will display a 0 in the VCAttributeDeleted flag meaning a logical value of
False and that no PSR that is valid for RoI will be overwritten.
5.2 Where there is a Cole with the COS, any Medical Equipment Special Needs details Data Code value(s) that are
associated with the previous Customer will not be applicable to the new Customer.
5.3 If multiple invalid MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values MS are detected on the 010MM for then there will
be one rejection message with a single DIJ rejection reason code on the 102R or 101R message depending on
whether the 010MM is for a COS or a New Connection.
5.4 Market Message 101R and 102R will not be populated with multiple DIJ codes, that is the reject reason code DIJ
will only ever appear once on a single 101R or 102R so where there are multiple invalid
MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values there is only one Rejection Reason Code for DIJ on the one Market Message
102R or 101R.
This means that, in the unlikely event that there are multiple errors arising from a single inbound 010 for example
due to multiple incorrect PSRs, the Supplier would either need to check for multiple errors or else resubmit the 010
with corrections and accept the possibility of a further rejection message carrying a DIJ reason code
5.5 If there were other validation failures on an 010 Market Message in addition to the PSR or SSR validation
failures ( eg another COS in process) then a single rejection Market Message 102R or 101R would be issued by the
CMS and would have multiple Rejection Reasons of DIJ and in this case CIP
6. COLE : MM 016
6.1 Where the COLE is from a MM016 then the new MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values that are populated on
the 016 will be updated on the CMS, and the new customer will not inherit any previous
MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode value in cases where they had existed for the previous customer.
6.2 The 116 confirmation message does not specifically state that the update was successful for every code but that
will be implicit. Should any of the MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values that are sent by a Supplier on an 016 be
invalid, then the message will not be processed any further, no updates will be made to CMS , and the 116R
rejection message will be issued by the CMS.
6.3 If multiple invalid MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values MS are detected by the CMS on the 016 then they will
be rejected with a single DIJ Reject Reason Code and rejection message viz 116R will be issued by the CMS.
7. COLE with Energisation : MM017
7.1 Where there is a COLE with a MM017 which has the Change of Tenant / Legal Entity flag set to 1 for a logical
value of True, then the new MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values that are populated on the 017 will be updated on
the CMS, and the new customer will not inherit any previous MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode in cases where they
had existed for the previous customer.
7.2 The 116 confirmation message does not specifically state that the update was successful for every code but that
will be implicit. Should any of the MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values that are sent by a Supplier on an 017 be
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request
28/10/2015 Page 13 of 16 Discussion Request 1173
invalid, then the message will not be processed any further, no updates will be made to CMS , and the 117R
rejection message will be issued by the CMS.
7.3 If multiple invalid MedicalEquipmentDetailsCode values MS are detected by the CMS on the 017 then they
will be rejected with a single DIJ Reject Reason Code and rejection message viz 117R will be issued by the CMS
8. Rejection of De-Energisation Requests
SSR
Customers who are registered as SSR can not be De-Energised NPA from 1st November to 31st March.
This means that changes are needed so that Market Message 017 for De-Energised NPA will be rejected by the
Central Market System whenever it is received from the Registered Supplier with a De-energise (NPA related)
Meter Point Status Reason code D02 from 1st November to midnight 31st March for all Vulnerable Customers
which are classified in the SSR. The Reject Reason Code will be IA.
PSR
Customers who are registered as PSR can not be De-Energised NPA at any time. This means that changes are
needed so Market Message 017 for De-Energised NPA will be rejected by the Central Market System whenever it is
received from the Registered Supplier with a De-energise (NPA related) Meter Point Status Reason code D02. The
Reject Reason Code will be IA.
9. The relevant Rejection Messages are
for the 010, either the 101R for New Connections or the 102R for COS
for the 013 the rejection message is the 014R
for the 016 the rejection message is the 116R
for the 017 the rejection message is the 117R

General Information on Changes needed to the Retail Market Participant Extranet
1 The RMP Extranet will need to be changed to allow for the population of the new SSR codes which will become
valid for RoI viz
0008 (Dexterity Impaired), 0009 (Mental Health), 0010 (Other)
2 The RMP Extranet will need to continue to be able to populate the SSR codes which are currently valid for RoI viz
0001 (Visually Impaired), 0002 (Speech Impaired), 0003 (Hearing Impaired), 0004 (Elderly), 0005 (Language
Difficulty), 0006 (Learning Difficulty), 0007 (Mobility Impaired)
3 The RMP Extranet will need to be changed to allow for the population of all of the PSR codes which will become
valid for RoI viz
CL (Electric Chair Lift), EH (Electric Hoist), EM (Electric Mattress/Bed), FR (Vital Medicine Requiring
ReMCoDS Discussion Request / Market Change Request

Refrigeration), HD (Home Dialysis), NB (Nebuliser), NP (Peg Tube Feeding Pump), OC (Oxygen
Concentrator), PN (Total Parental Nutrition Machine), PV (Patient Vital Signs Monitoring Systems), SL
(Electric Pressure Stair Lift), SP (Suction Pump), VT (Ventilator), OT (Other)
4 The RMP Extranet currently populates the Medical Institution code 0005 (Medical Equipment) and the RMP
Extranet will need to continue to be able to populate this.
Note: where the Medical Institution code 0005 (Medical Equipment) is being advised on any message 010MM,
013MM, 016MM or 017MM then then the DisplayOnExtranet Boolean flag will not need to be populated.
5 DisplayOnExtranet Changes
5.1 Before any new or changed PSR code is advised on any message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or 017MM the
Supplier will need to check with the customer if that customer consents to a PSR code value being displayed on the
Retail Market Participant Extranet.
All SSR values for an MPRN are currently displayed on the Extranet and no change is proposed however this of
course is open to discussion. This means that all new SSR code values will be displayed on the Extranet, where
they are available for an MPRN viz 0008 (Dexterity Impaired), 0009 (Mental Health), 0010 (Other)
5.2 Therefore the DisplayOnExtranet Boolean flag will be mandatory on any message 010MM, 013MM, 016MM or
017MM where any new or changed PSR code is advised by the Supplier. In these cases, the value of the
DisplayOnExtranet flag should be true or 1 or false or 0
This is a change to the current rules where the DisplayOnExtranet Boolean flag is mandatory if either
Medical Equipment Special Needs codes 0003 or 0004 are populated on any 010,013,016 or 017
5.3 Where there are multiple PSR codes on a single MPRN , the value of the single DisplayOnExtranet flag will
signify either
Customer consent for all PSR values to be displayed in the case where the DisplayOnExtranet flag is true or
1
No customer consent for any PSR value to be displayed in the case where the DisplayOnExtranet flag is
false or 0
6 The RMP Extranet will not display data for Medical Equipment Special Needs details 0003 (Life Support), 0004
(Non-Life Support) after they have been removed from MPRNs in the CMS.
7 Note existing field locations on the RMP Extranet may need to change and therefore the exact location of the new
SSR and PSR lists on the Extranet screens will be communicated during the implementation phase.
8. Only PSR and SSR code values will be displayed, not their corresponding descriptions.
Changes to the text in the Retail Market Participant Extranet Website Guide
Add the following Text:
The Retail Market Participant Extranet will display two sets of code values instead of the one combined Customer
Attributes list which was previously available for display.
The changes mean that there will be a list available to display all Special Services Register (SSR) code values that
apply to the MPRN and a separate list to display all Priority Services Register (PSR) code values.
Note: the PSR code values will only be displayed on the Extranet if customer permission has been granted and
where this has been advised by the Supplier.
Customer Information
SSR This displays the list, where available, of all Special Services Register (SSR) code values that apply to the MPRN.
These are the ten SSR code values that will be valid for display for an MPRN in the SSR list along with their

PSR This displays the list, where available, of all Priority Services Register (PSR) code values that apply to the MPRN.
Note: the PSR code values will only be displayed on the Extranet if customer permission has been granted and
where this has been advised by the Supplier.
These are the fourteen PSR code values that will be valid for display for an MPRN in the PSR list along with their
descriptions which will not be displayed

Market Messages volume, processing etc. Data
Details of Data changes e.g. cleansing
1 Supplier will need to check with the customer if that
customer consents to a new Medical Equipment Special
Need flag being displayed on the Retail Market
Participant Extranet.
2 There is a requirement for suppliers to do a mapping
to the new codes that change from Life/Non Life to the
new codes. This will need to be done in good time and
advised to ESB Networks before the cutover to the new
values can happen. More work will be needed to
understand how best to make the change over to the
new codes in the CMS. This will be discussed and agreed
with the IGG as part of the implementation work of this
Change Request.
3 There will need to be further work to assess the impact
of work in progress items before cutover which have the
old codes. This could mean that there may be a freeze
on updating SSR and PSR Data Codes on Market
Messages as work in progress which wont have
completed before cutover could have the potential to be
rejected by the schema or other validations. This will be
discussed and agreed with the IGG as part of the
implementation work of this Change Request.
