For any Settlement Date and Settlement Run Type carried out in accordance with the Settlement Calendar, the Settlement Administration Agent (SAA) publishes Settlement Reports (known as SAA-I014 reports) to relevant industry parties. Whilst all Settlement Reports are built using the same data, there are slightly differing sub-flows of the SAA-I014 depending on the primary recipient.
Settlement Report delivery
Settlement Reports issued to BSC Parties are delivered in sub-flow 1, which has a file id of S0141. Settlement Reports issued to Virtual Lead Parties are delivered in sub-flow 4, file id S0144.
- Please refer to the NETA IDD spreadsheet (NETA Interface Definition & Design Part 1) for the detailed definition of physical file structure.
Which Settlement Report should I receive?
We are aware that some Virtual Lead Parties may have been receiving both an S0141 and an S0144 for a Settlement Run prior to the go-live of the new SAA service on Elexon Kinnect, our cloud platform.
BSC Parties should only receive one of these sub-flows, dependant on their registered Market Roles. Parties who are solely registered in a Virtual Lead Party (VLP) role will receive an S0144. If a Party is registered for another Trading Party Role (i.e. Supplier) in addition to the VLP role, then they will receive an S0141. All other active (non-VLP) Trading Parties will receive an S0141.
Accessing the SAA-I014 sub-flow 2
A copy of the SAA-I014 sub-flow-2, file id S0142, which is sent to National Electricity
Transmission System Operator (NETSO) and contains data on all BSC Parties (Virtual Lead Parties included) in relation to a Settlement Run, is also available. This is very similar in format to the S0141.
This SAA-I014 sub-flow 2 data is available via several different methods:
- Direct from the central BSC Systems – please contact your Operational Support Manager (OSM) or the BSC Service Desk
- From the Data flows available from BSC Systems page of the Elexon website
- From the P114 Data page on the Elexon Portal > Operational Data > P114 Data
Any changes to the reporting requirements of individual Parties should be requested in line with the agreed procedures set out in BSCP41: Report Requests and Authorisations.
