OATI webSettlementTM
There are two types of settlement functions
that need to be performed in an RTO
environment. The first is the traditional
market settlement and billing process, which
involves the transfer of funds to and from
the Market Participant to the RTO using the
RTO's settlement statement as a reference.
The second type of settlement process is
commonly referred to as Shadow Settlement.
This is the process of independently
verifying the accuracy of the charge types
listed in the RTO settlement statements. The
OATI webSettlement solution provides both of
these functions, and when integrated with
the OATI webTrader solution, provides a
complete settlement solution.
Market Settlement
& Billing - OATI webSettlement
provides a complete set of tools to manage
the transfer of funds between the Market
Participant and the RTO. These tools include
financial accounting checkout, invoice
creation & tracking facilities, invoice
payment, accounting locks and receivables
aging capability. Standard and custom
reports are available for analysis and
company-wide distribution of settlement and
billing information.
Shadow Settlement
- The Shadow Settlement function provides
the means to compare the RTO statement with
the participants expected billing and to
analyze any differences. As soon as the
operating day has cleared, the settlement
can be performed and charges can be obtained
without having to wait for the market
statements. The Settlement function develops
a shadow settlement statement based on
cleared transactions, identifies differences
with the RTO statement, and provides the
functionality for disputes and their
management. OATI webSettlement is integrated
within the OATI webTrader to provide the
market settlement module that enables users
to compute settlement charges in full
compliance with the market rules. Actual
market settlement computations are performed
and users can define market charges &
determinants within the system and specify
their computation formulas in an easy and
intuitive form. Market settlement reports
are created in exactly the same format and
structure as they come from the market. This
enables an easy side-by-side comparison and
quick identification of discrepancies.
