1. UNC Modification Proposal 0201 National Grid Distribution
“Small value Invoices”
Distribution Workstream – 27 March 2008
Phil Lucas

2. Aims of Modification Proposal 0201
To enable co-ordination of small value Ad-hoc invoice payments with high value ‘main’ invoices
Enables transaction charge efficiency (one payment covers multiple invoice type amounts due)
Achieved by extending invoice due date for Ad-hoc invoices for <=£25

3. Existing Invoicing Cycle
‘Main’ Invoices
LDZ Capacity
NTS Exit Capacity
NTS Entry Capacity
Commodity
Unique Sites
CSEPs
Reconciliation
NTS Entry Commodity
Invoice issue and due dates staggered to even workload for all parties throughout the month
What are the opportunities within the existing invoicing cycle to co-ordinate small payments with larger value invoice payments?

5. National Grid View
in the vast majority of occurrences, the existing transportation billing schedule and payment terms would appear to enable the efficiency identified within the proposal to be realised
the proposal does not appear to provide the User with a significant increased benefit in terms of ability to co-ordinate invoice payments
significant cost to National Grid to implement
