When your series and your counterparty’s do not agree, the market decides the value after its deadline: in Germany by its matching rules, in the Netherlands by setting the series to zero, or, between two BRPs with a priority nomination, by using the values of the BRP with priority. Fix the mismatch before that, and you keep control of the value.
1

Find the series that do not match

Look for series whose match_status is not matched or not_checked:
  • inconsistent: you and the counterparty sent different values.
  • counterpart_missing: the counterparty sent nothing for this trade.
  • counterpart_only: the counterparty sent a series that names you, and you did not.

Read the findings

findings gives the market’s reasons, with its codes, and per affected quarter-hour your value and the counterparty’s:
position counts quarter-hours from local midnight, starting at 0: position 8 is 02:00 to 02:15.The console shows the same findings on the schedule’s page, with a chart of both sides.

Agree on the values

Contact the counterparty and agree which values are right. The market does not decide who is right before its deadline: one of you changes the series.
4

Send the corrected values

If your side changes, post the whole day again with the corrected values. Engrate sends a new revision. For a counterpart_only series, add the series the counterparty expects.When the counterparty’s side changes, you do not need to do anything. The market matches again and reports the new result.

Check the result

Read the series state again. The series turns matched, and its confirmation shows your values. If the deadline passed first, the confirmation shows the value the market chose, and why. See Why a value changed.
