8. Mod_37_18 Housekeeping - Other
Other inconsistencies with the FRR are:
- Part B Glossary definition of Aggregate Settlement Document Amount: the deletion of this term was dropped in the FRR for MOD_19_18 in error; the original modification clearly stated it should be deleted because covered in the variable list as SDApbc. The FRR has no comment with regard to the rejection of this change therefore we are including it for V21 as it was a clerical error;
- Part B Section B shows updated numbering due to a new subsection title being added. Please disregard these as they are not updates from V.20 and they will not be shown in V21 once changes are accepted;
- Some minor errors in the FRR Legal Drafting are highlighted with Comments on the published documents such as Part A and Part B Appendices;

9. Mod_37_18 Housekeeping – Follow up
Additional potential Mods will be required to look into the following issues*:
- Part B Glossary definition of Credit Assessment Volume (from Mod_07_17) currently only refers to “Participant’s Supplier Units or Generator Units”; should this be extended to Assetless Units as well, in light of the fact that they can become New or Adjusted Participants?;
- Part B AP09 paragraph (from Mod_15_17) contains multiple instances of ‘metered quantities’. Only one was changed to ‘Metered Demand’ while potentially all should have been captured; however this has to be confirmed and further checks of all Code’s documentation will need to be carried out;
- Mod_17_17 introduced two new definitions: “Ex-Ante Market” and “ Market Rules”. However these terms are already used throughout the T&SC as non capitalised terms; a check of all instances will be carried out to verify which one are to be capitalised as in line with the defined terms and which ones won’t.
* Please note these were only flagged as potential Modifications - a detailed analysis has not been carried out as yet

10. Clarification to Disputes
Mod_35_18
Clarification to Disputes
12th December 2018

11. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes
It’s no secret that in these first few months of I-SEM we have received a significant number of Disputes…
Experience of processing Disputes has highlighted potential issues in the process as it currently stands:
- do Participants have sufficient time to consider referral to a DRB when the timelines are the same as those for the resolution of a Pricing Dispute (i.e. 5WD from issue of Dispute Notice)?;
- is it clear that a price can be re-opened when a manifest error is declared either by the MO or as part of a Pricing Dispute Resolution?;
- is there a rationale to limiting the application of Settlement Recalculation Threshold and Price Materiality Threshold only to resolutions from a DRB?;

12. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes – B.19.2 (b) and AP14 – (1)
do Participants have sufficient time to consider referral to a DRB when the timelines are the same as those for Dispute resolution (i.e. 5WD)?;
It may happen (and indeed it has already occurred) that the MO may need the whole 5 WDs to conclude making an assessment of the issue; or
or that a meeting/call cannot be agreed any time earlier than the final day in the 5 WDs assigned for resolution;
This leaves very little time to PTs to be able to consider and action a referral to DRB;
Although submitting a Referral Form is only the initial administrative step, which doesn’t necessarily bind the Raising Party to potential costs etc., it would seem appropriate to ensure at least the availability of one additional WD to consider it;

13. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes – B.19.2 (b) and AP14 – (2)
do Participants have sufficient time to consider referral to a DRB when the timelines are the same as those for Dispute resolution (i.e. 5WD)?;
This has been addressed by changing paragraph B.19.2 as follows: …
(b) unless the Market Operator determines that a manifest error has occurred under paragraph E.3.8.1, a Disputing Party may refer the Pricing Dispute to a Dispute Resolution Board by issuing a Referral Notice as soon as practicable, and in any case within 65 Working Days of the issue of the Notice of Dispute, otherwise the Dispute will be deemed to be withdrawn.
Same changes reflected in Agreed Procedure 14:
Within 56 WD of the issue of the Notice of Dispute

14. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes – E.3.8.1– (1)
is it clear that a price can be re-opened when a manifest error is declared either by the MO or as part of a Pricing Dispute Resolution?;
Paragraph E is quite restrictive about the ability of the MO to call a manifest error:
E If the Market Operator identifies a manifest error in a published Imbalance Settlement Price within 5 Working Days of its publication (whether or not as a result of a Settlement Query or a Pricing Dispute), the Market Operator shall correct the manifest error and shall publish the corrected Imbalance Settlement Price as soon as possible and within 1 Working Day of making the correction.
Does this mean that a manifest error cannot be declared as part of a Dispute Resolution, which can potentially occur 10WDs after the publication of the Imbalance Settlement Price?

15. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes – E.3.8.1– (2)
is it clear that a price can be re-opened when a manifest error is declared either by the MO or as part of a Pricing Dispute Resolution?;
The proposed change just aims to clarify that there is no other reason for the MO to recalculate the Imbalance Settlement Price other than a manifest error (unless a DRB or a higher authority directs the MO otherwise);
E If the Market Operator identifies a manifest error in a published Imbalance Settlement Price:
a) within 5 Working Days of its publication (whether or not as a result of a Settlement Query or a Pricing Dispute); or
b) as part of the resolution of a Pricing Dispute as per paragraph B (a);
the Market Operator shall correct the manifest error and shall publish the corrected Imbalance Settlement Price as soon as possible and within 1 Working Day of making the correction.

16. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes – B.19.3 – (1)
is there a rationale to limiting the application of Settlement Recalculation Threshold and Price Materiality Threshold only to resolutions from a DRB?
Section B.19.3 title could be confusing: it does not refer specifically to General Disputes; it is a section that covers general provisions for different Dispute types;
also the limitation of the application of Settlement Recalculation Threshold and Price Materiality Threshold is inconsistently applied to DRB decisions only;
this is not in line with the rationale for introducing these thresholds: i.e.
- reduce costs and inconvenience to the Market when outcome are immaterial; and
- provide more stability and certainty to the Price;
It is also inconsistent with the applications of the Settlement Recalculation Threshold following a Settlement Query; it seems appropriate therefore to apply them both to the resolutions of all Disputes;

17. Mod_35_18 Clarifications to Disputes – B.19.3 – (2)
is there a rationale to limiting the application of Settlement Recalculation Threshold and Price Materiality Threshold only to resolutions from a DRB?
Section B.19.3 title could be confusing: it does not refer specifically to General Disputes; it is a section that covers general provisions for different Dispute types;
B.19.3 General Dispute Provisions for Disputes
B All decisions in relation to the resolution of a Dispute or a material* error identified by the Market Operator as per paragraph E.3.8.1of a Dispute Resolution Board are subject to the Settlement Recalculation Threshold and a Price Materiality Threshold determined as follows: …
Please note this is meant to say “manifest” not “material”. Proposing to amend this in the Legal Drafting of FRR

18. Mod_35_18: Justification and Implication of not implementing
This proposed Modification seeks to amend the T&SC where the strict applications of its provisions could lead to unclear or inconsistent outcomes; these include:
Application of Settlement Recalculation Threshold and Price Materiality Threshold only to DRB resolutions or Settlement Queries while not to other Dispute types;
Lack of clarity to whether the MO has the right to identify a manifest error after 5WDs as part of a Dispute resolution;
It also addresses limitations to Participant’s timelines where a resolution of a Pricing Dispute cannot be agreed before the allocated 5WDs;
The implications for not implementing this Modifications are:
Participants left with little or no time to refer a Dispute to a DRB;
More instances of referrals and therefore costs to PTs in case it is not explicitly stated whether the MO can identify manifest errors after 5WDs;
Inconsistency in the application of Settlement Recalculation Threshold and Price Materiality Threshold in different types of Disputes and Queries.

19. Settlement Document and Invoice Terminology Clarifications
MOD_36_18
Settlement Document and Invoice Terminology Clarifications
12nd December 2018

20. Summary Information
There is ambiguity in the use of the defined term Settlement Document within areas of the Code where it is conflated with the Market Operator Charge invoice in error
This proposal seeks to address these ambiguities via minor changes to affected drafting and aims to avoid more substantial redrafting insofar as is possible
The distinction between Settlement Documents for energy/capacity and MO Charge invoices is of material importance since VAT is treated differently for the two documents
G – G – Participant Settlement Amounts on Settlement Documents where the Market Operator is not obliged to calculate or reflect VAT/issue VAT invoices (VAT self accounted by Participants via reverse charge)
G Market Operator Charges where the Market Operator issues VAT invoices reflecting VAT (Market Operator accounts for and collects VAT)
This distinction is also called on elsewhere to define, inter alia, issuance, payment and publication obligations as well (e.g. G vs G for payment obligations)

21. Summary Information Cont.
While developing this proposal some additional related areas of potential clarification/correction were identified as follows;
Appendix G, which details publication timings for Statements, Reports, MO Charge invoices and settlement documents does not include Settlement Statements for Market Operator Charges which has potential implications for Settlement Query provisions and re-settlement
Appendix G mentions separate Fixed and Variable Market Operator Charge invoices and that the Market Operator ‘may’ include them on a single invoice where Mod_20_18 already clarified that this ‘shall’ be a single monthly invoice
Agreed Procedure 15 ‘Settlement and Billing’ discusses a process for treating unpaid Variable Market Operator Charge as an Unsecured Bad Debt which it is not under Part B
Agreed Procedure 15 also refers to Settlement Reports for Market Operator Charges in error. These are not detailed under Appendix G, nor are they issued operationally

22. Legal Drafting Changes – Appendix G

23. Legal Drafting Changes – Glossary

24. Legal Drafting Changes – Agreed Procedure 15 Section 2

25. Legal Drafting Changes – Agreed Procedure 15 Section 3

26. Justification and Implication of Not Implementing
This proposed Modification seeks to correct errors where the term Settlement Document is incorrectly used in relation to Market Operator Charge items which do not relate to energy or capacity settlement and otherwise clarify the use of this terminology;
Such references are incorrect and could cause confusion as to the application of the term and related Code provisions
This proposal also seeks to address the other inaccuracies specified in the explanation;
Include a reference to Market Operator Charge Statements
Clarify the approach to invoicing for Fixed and Variable Market Operator Charge
Remove a reference to Market Operator Charge Settlement Reports and
Remove a reference to Market Operator Charge as Unsecured Bad Debt
If this proposal is not implemented the stated inaccuracies and resulting diminished transparency will remain

27. Code Objectives Furthered
This proposal aims to further the transparency objective by removing the stated ambiguities and contradictions so that the rules are internally consistent on the application of Settlement Document and Market Operator Charge invoice terminology
This proposals also aims to ensure transparency in;
Invoicing of Market Operator Charge
The treatment of unpaid Market Operator Charge
Issuance of Settlement Statements for Market Operator Charge and
Non-issuance of Settlement Reports for Market Operator Charge
