Brief Explanation (This will be copied into the description in the Change Control Summary Spreadsheet):

In GI 711- 712 section 2 it states “The distributor will provide 1 Usage for the service period for a customer account or service(s) to be billed. Usage transactions are not cumulative. In other words, a distributor may not send multiple Usages for the same service period and same service, regardless of the type of read (actual or estimate) or service (metered/un-metered).”

Detail Explanation (Exactly what change is required? To which Ontario EBT Standards? Why?):

We need to modify the description to read, “ the distributor will provide 1 Usage for the service period for a customer account or service(s) to be billed. Usage transactions are to be cumulative for Interval Usage data and not for cumulative non-Interval Usage data.”

See the examples below

Interval usage pip- showing the <UsageData> the usage values are to be added up to obtain a total
