Information processing
Information | Description |
|---|---|
Cancellation of future agreements | Customer’s move-out automatically cancels all future agreements on the accounting point where the customers are exactly the same as is the ones who are moving out. If the reason for agreement end is ‘Termination’ or ‘Delivery ends due to a supplier related reason’ and there already is a new agreement on the accounting point starting after the end date with agreement starting reason ‘Change of agreement’ and at least one same customer as the agreement being ended, the future change of agreement is cancelled automatically. |
Termination of authorizations | Customer’s move-out automatically terminates all authorizations of the moving customers on the accounting point when the agreement ends. Customer’s move-out automatically cancels all upcoming authorizations of the moving customers on the accounting point when the agreement ends. |
Cancelling open connection/disconnection requests | If there are open (i.e. the actual connection or disconnection has not yet been reported) connection or disconnection requests for the accounting point with requested connection/disconnection date after the agreement end date, those requests are cancelled. |
Reporting an ending to an already ended agreement | If the termination is reported for an agreement that has already ended due to a new agreement on the accounting point (DH-311), the process only registers the reported termination and the possible final invoicing address. If the corresponding grid agreement has also ended or is about to end due to a new agreement (DH-312) without a separate termination notification from the DSO, Datahub notifies the DSO of the termination of the sales agreement and the possible final invoicing address and creates an open transaction for a corresponding termination notification from the DSO (DH-333). No other processing is done, and no other parties are notified. |
Information storage
Origin of information | Information stored |
|---|---|
Information reported by party | The ending date of the sales agreement, possible final invoicing address and the reason for ending the agreement. |
The final invoicing address is saved as the new postal invoicing address of the agreement that takes effect on the reported agreement end date. | |
Datahub stores and forwards the post office name in capital letters even if the reporting party sends it in a different format. This applies only to post offices located in Finland. | |
Information processed by Datahub | Balance information for the accounting point when retroactively terminated. |
Changes to authorizations, if any. |

Forwarding of information
Party | Description | Message |
|---|---|---|
DSO | If there is a valid or an unconfirmed grid agreement corresponding to the sales agreement on the accounting point at the end of occurrence, the DSO is notified of the termination of a sales agreement, the possible final invoicing address and the reason for the termination of the agreement. The DSO is also notified of the termination if the grid agreement corresponding to the sales agreement has ended or is about to end due to a new agreement on the accounting point (without a separate ending notification from the DSO) and the termination of the sales agreement was notified to an already terminated agreement. All event data is forwarded to the DSO. | |
Supplier for the related accounting point | In case of moving out, a notification of moving out is forwarded to the possible supplier of the related accounting point. Only the reason for agreement termination (moving out), the end date and the original message identification are forwarded from the original message. In addition, the identification of the related accounting point is forwarded. The party identification of the supplier reporting the move-out is not forwarded. | |
Third party | Notification of sales agreement termination is reported to third parties who have customer’s authorization to the accounting point in question. The notification includes the same information forwarded to the supplier of the related accounting point. | |
Future supplier for the accounting point | If reason is moving out, the accounting point supplier is also notified of the cancellation of the upcoming sales agreement if the upcoming agreement is not a move-in. | |
Authorized party | If authorizations have been terminated or cancelled due to move-out, a notification of authorization change is sent to related market parties. | |
Supplier for the accounting point | If the Datahub operator has ended a sales agreement, a notification of agreement termination is sent to the supplier of the agreement. | |
Balancing service provider | If the notification of an agreement cancellation changes a customer’s supplier information due to the cancelled (or a potentially restored) agreement and the customer has issued an “Accounting point’s balance responsibility information” authorization for the accounting point, the new balance responsibility information is forwarded to the balancing service provider. The authorization must be valid on the reporting date of the event and the validity of the changed data must overlap with the validity of the authorization. If the change is retroactive, the information is forwarded only if its validity overlaps with the validity of the authorization during the last 60 days (counting from the reporting date). |
