Below, affected 快活app官网 customers can learn more about actions they will need to take and changes to existing systems or procedures related to the Divisional Accounting Project. This project is one of several that 快活app官网 has undertaken, in collaboration with stakeholders, for the continued development of the region’s wholesale electricity markets. Target dates indicated below are subject to change.
See Participant Readiness Project Outlook for more detail on specifically affected customers and systems for this and other major projects.
The Divisional Accounting project was developed to address requests from participants for the ability to assign settlement accounts to business units for reporting purposes. Under the project, user-defined subaccounts allow customers to segregate their settlement reporting according to their business needs. Participants can designate assets and resources directly to a subaccount in the Customer and Asset Management System (CAMS); other activity-based transactions are assigned in their respective applications, such as eMarket, the Forward Capacity Tracking System (FCTS), and the Internal Transactions interface. As this project touches multiple user interfaces and reporting systems, implementation has been performed over several phases beginning in 2014. The project phases as implemented or planned to date are as follows:
Affected market participants should be mindful of the following time-bound items, some of which may require customers to take specific steps or adapt to changes in 快活app官网 systems.
