NMI standing data master tables
For details about the data stored in the MSATS master tables, see Standing Data for MSATS.
This section describes how and when MSATS Market Settlement and Transfer Solutions. The procedures published by AEMO under clause 7.2.8 of the National Electricity Rules, which include those governing the recording of financial responsibility for energy flows at a connection point, the transfer of that responsibility between market participants, and the recording of energy flows at a connection point. updates the five NMI Standing Data See National Electricitiy Rules master tables when participants submit Change Requests. It includes an explanation of the relationship between the dates supplied with a Change Request A transaction submitted by participants in MSATS whenever they want to create or update data held in MSATS. and the dates on the NMI Master Record The NMI master record with an end date set to the year 9999..
NMI standing data master tables describes the five MSATS master tables containing the Standing Data stored for each NMI See Relevant Rules or Procedures.
To ensure there is a complete history for these tables, each time there is a change, MSATS:
-
Makes old records inactive.
-
Creates new records.

Mandatory NMI standing data
To be valid, a NMI used in MSATS must have the following minimum data:
-
At least one record on the CATS Customer Administration and Transfer Solution. A set of procedures, principles and obligations made under the National Electricity Rules as part of Market Settlement and Transfer Solutions (MSATS), and applicable to NMI (National Metering Identifier) small and large classifications._NMI_DATA table.
-

Other NMI standing data
A NMI can also have:
-
At least one record on the CATS_METER_REGISTER table.
-
At least one record on the CATS_REGISTER_IDENTIFIER table.
-
If Metering Data is submitted to MDM Meter Data Management system includes the Profile Preparation Service, Basic Meter Profiling, and Data Aggregation., at least one valid record on the CATS_NMI_DATA_STREAM table.
NMI standing data
NMI Standing Data is the information captured against a NMI, including its NMI classification, TNI, DLF Distribution Loss Factor. The loss of energy, due to electrical resistance and the heating of conductors, as electricity flows through the transmission and distribution networks. codes, and physical location details.
Participant role relationship
Participant Role Relationships define the roles played by Market Participants against a NMI record (seeRole ID codes).
During the Change Request The way information is returned from an API. In a request, the client provides a resource URL with the proper authorization to an API server. The API returns a response with the information requested. process, participants nominate and modify Roles for assignment to a NMI. These changes are not permanent until the Change Request is in Completed One of the status points of a Change Request. (COM) status. However, if information in a Change Request is modified while it is in progress, it is assigned a new Request ID and the life cycle restarts.
When a NMI is created, all Roles must be allocated on the Change Request. This Change Request is usually created by the LNSP and all nominated parties are sent a Notification A transaction that does not have a corresponding reply transaction, see Notification Business Transaction Pattern. informing them of the NMI and the role the LNSP has asked them to undertake. The parties can object to this nomination.
Once a NMI is created, Change Requests are submitted to change Roles or groups of Roles. For example, there is a specific Change Reason Code A code that identifies a type of Change Request. It defines rules such as what NMI information can be updated and which roles will receive a Change Request Notification each time the Change Request Status is updated. to change only the Local Retailer See Relevant Rules or Procedures. The Change Retailer (for example, CR1000) generally allow nomination of a new FRMP Financially Responsible Market Participant, usually a retailer, Generator, Market Customer or a Market Small Generator Aggregator, identified in respect of a connection point.

NMI datastreams
NMI Datastreams define the Metering Data MSATS expects to receive for any NMI. Datastreams are Metering Data associated with a Connection Point represented by a NMI. A NMI can have multiple Datastreams (for example, from one or more Meters, Channels, or Registers comprising a single Meter). Each Datastream is identified by a suffix.
NMI metering installation
NMI Meter Register The meter register data stored in MSATS, which includes both the metering register and other data. records contain data stored about Meters for each NMI. Some of the details recorded are the Next Scheduled Read Date The date of the next scheduled meter read to be undertaken by the current MDP or MPC, see MSATS Procedures: CATS Procedures. (if it is manually read), the Metering Installation Type, the physical location, and the manufacturer’s details.
NMI register identifier
NMI Register Identifier records contain data stored against Meter Register identifiers for a Metering Installation associated with a NMI. These records contain information such as, the register ID, Network Tariff Code A nominated code for the Network Tariff charged by the NSP. and a code representing the unit of measure. Each Metering Installation can have multiple registers.
