Summary
RSA transaction set for credit adjustment
Preconditions and situation description
The site was settled prior to final settlement based on estimates.
A meter read is obtained after final settlement. Once profiled, the consumption from the read for the periods already final
settled, in total, is at least 100 kWh less than the estimated consumption for those periods. The read was obtained at least
eight months (but less than eight years) after the last period already final settled.
Input data
Output data
RSAs – to AESO
RSAs – to Retailer
Expected results
RSA transaction set follows the new format with the Financial Eligibility Indicator field, the Zone ID field and the PFAM
Adjustment Reason Code field added.
All records contained in the RSA transaction set will contain a “Y” in the Financial Eligibility Indicator field.
The RSAs will contain “2000” in the PFAM Adjustment Reason Code field.
The quantities in the Consumption field of the RSA transaction set will all add up to at least negative 100 kWh.

Summary
RSA transaction set for debit adjustment
Preconditions and situation description
The site was settled based on a meter read that contained a meter multiplier error.
The meter multiplier error was identified after final settlement, and a corrected read was produced. Once profiled, the
consumption from the corrected read for the periods already final settled, in total, is at least 100 kWh more than the
consumption used for the final settlement for those periods. The read was corrected at least eight months after the last
period already final settled.
Input data
Output data
RSAs – to AESO
RSAs – to Retailer
Expected results
RSA transaction set follows the new format with the Financial Eligibility Indicator field, the Zone ID field and the PFAM
Adjustment Reason Code field added.
There will be some records contained in the RSA transaction set that will contain an “N” in the Financial Eligibility Indicator
field and some that will contain a “Y”.
The RSAs will contain “2001” in the PFAM Adjustment Reason Code field.
The quantities in the Consumption field of the RSA transaction set will all add up to at least positive 100 kWh.

Summary
RSA transaction set for multiple site-specific errors identified post-final for the same site and period
Preconditions and situation description
The site was settled prior to final settlement based on estimates. After final settlement, a meter read was obtained that
spanned back one year. Once profiled, the consumption from the read for the periods already final settled, in total, was
150 kWh less than the estimated consumption used for the final settlement for those periods. A PFAM adjustment was
processed for the periods already final settled.
Now, the meter read that was obtained is investigated and found to be incorrect. The read is canceled and replaced with a
corrected read. Once profiled, the consumption from the corrected read for the periods already final settled, in total, is 50
kWh more than the original estimated consumption used at final settlement. A second PFAM adjustment is processed for
the periods.
Input data
Output data
RSAs – to AESO
RSAs – to Retailer
Expected results
For RSA No. 1:
RSA transaction set follows the new format with the Financial Eligibility Indicator field, the Zone ID field and the PFAM
Adjustment Reason Code field added.
All records contained in the RSA transaction set will contain a “Y” in the Financial Eligibility Indicator field.
The RSAs will contain “2000” in the PFAM Adjustment Reason Code field.
The quantities in the Consumption field of the RSA transaction set will all add up to negative 150 kWh.
For RSA No. 2:
RSA transaction set follows the new format with the Financial Eligibility Indicator field, the Zone ID field and the PFAM
Adjustment Reason Code field added.
There will be some records contained in the RSA transaction set that will contain an “N” in the Financial Eligibility Indicator
field and some that will contain a “Y”.
The RSAs will contain “2005” in the PFAM Adjustment Reason Code field.
The quantities in the Consumption field of the RSA transaction set will add up to 200 kWh.
