Replacement Reads

• Formal report made to the CER for decision • Avoidance of future errors:

– Replacement of estimated data is no longer a manual process and is now automated in the production environment. A range of system controls will now prevent a recurrence.

– To provide absolute assurance Profile Data Services are running a monthly report to track estimated data in SAP IS-U. Each instance of estimated QH data will be investigated to avoid a recurrence of the current problem

Extra Costs for De-Energisation

• Streamlining process to pay for extra costs where outside d/e can not be done by single NT

• This has been requested by Suppliers as the workaround of logging multiple M017 was not satisfactory

• Premises that can be d/e at extra costs are generally where 2 man crew or hoist is required

• This has been discussed with Accounts Managers from all Suppliers

• Implementation date is immediate

Contd…•Supplier sends M017 requesting de-energisation

•Where NT cannot d/e outside they advise Supplier via email

•Supplier contacts Meters Works Supplier Support for quotation

•Supplier advised of cost via email

•Supplier sends in new M017 noting that they have agreed costs andalso email Meter Works Supplier Support agreeing to extra costs

•Service order is updated by Database and DUOS Billing will charge the standard d/e cost on Monthly DUOS Billing. DUOS Billing will charge Supplier the extra cost separately on Monthly DUOS Billing and send backing document with all MPRN nos. & the cost associated with that MPRN.
