Q&A

Questions will be received by the community via WebEx chat before the questions are opened to the floor. Participants can submit questions outside of the CDR Implementation Call to the CDR Support Portal.

In regards to topics for questions, we ask the participants on the call to consider the Community Guidelines when posing questions to the subject matter experts.

Answer provided

Ticket # Question Answer
1423 Can DSB confirm the Data Holder is required to return the following API’s on closed accounts (where the customer is eligible) as per Schedule 4, 3.2(7):
• Get Service Points
• Get Service Point Detail
• Get Usage For Service Point
• Get Bulk Usage
• Get Usage For Specific Service Point
• Get Balance For Energy Account
• Get Bulk Balances for Energy
• Get Balances For Specific Energy Accounts
• Get Invoices For Account
• Get Bulk Invoices
• Get Invoices For Specific Accounts
• Get Billing For Account
• Get Bulk Billing
• Get Billing For Specific Account
In relation to the above we are unclear if Service Point API's are required for closed accounts. For example, Service Point APIs would not be relevant as these would relate to today's details - e.g. today the NMI could be extinct, whereas last year it was active.
Please note we have raised a decision proposal which recommends changes to the energy standards for sharing of closed account information. The proposal should help answer the question raised in this ticket.
It would be really helpful if you could review the proposal and provide any feedback as it relates to the question asked.
1384 I will rephrase my question to clarify our understanding after reading rules: Schedule 4, 3.2, subclause 7
Despite subclause (2), for an account that is closed at a particular time, each of the following is not required consumer data:
(a) CDR data held by AEMO, other than metering data;
(b) CDR data held by a retailer, other than billing data; and
(c) CDR data that is not excluded by paragraph (a) or (b), but relates to a transaction or event that occurred more than 2 years before that time.
1) Get Accounts API: We agree that as long as the CDR consumer is eligible, the Get Account API will list all accounts open or closed within the last 2 years as eligible accounts.
2) Get Account Details API if the account is closed
Based on the above rule, our interpretation is that we do not need to provide any data other than billing data. Is out understanding correct.
3) Get Account Details API if the account is open
A customer could be on a plan A last year, and could be on a plan B this year. And for a customer who could have been with a retailer for many years, there could be many plans. We were of the opinion, that we were to only supply the current plan. However, your response suggests that we need to provide historical plans as well.
Questions:
A) If we need to send historical plans, we need to understand how far do we have to go back. Is it 24 months? We are not obliged to provide data for more than 2 years.
B) If we need to include historical data, why has this API not been designed to include the following in parameter query - newest-date & oldest date as we have done for Get Invoices for account and Get Billing for Account.
Please note we have raised a decision proposal which recommends changes to the energy standards for sharing of closed account information. The proposal should help answer the question raised in this ticket.
It would be really helpful if you could review the proposal and provide any feedback as it relates to the question asked.
