Deals delivery monitoring

đź’ˇ The Deals page combined with the reconciliation workflow can be used to track whether all expected EACs have been received from or sent to your counterparties, and quickly identify any overdue deliveries that need to be chased.

What is this about?

Once a buy or sell deal is captured in the platform, each tranche carries a contractual delivery date, the date by which EACs are expected to arrive in (or leave) your registry account. Monitoring whether those deliveries have actually happened is a critical part of managing your EAC portfolio.

The platform makes this straightforward by combining two things: the delivery date filter on the Deals page, and the automatic delivery status that is updated based on reconciliation with your registry transactions.

We use EAC (Energy Attribute Certificate) to describe all types of certificates, including but not limited to GO, EFEC, REC, iREC, REGO, and HKN.

How to monitor deal delivery status

Step 1: Go to the Deals page and select the “View per delivery dates” view

Navigate to Portfolio → Deals in the platform. This page lists all your captured buy and sell deals with their associated tranches.

If you select the View per delivery dates view, all of your deals will already be sorted correctly for this workflow.

This allows you to analyse delivery dates at a glance:

  • Delivery date in the past: tranches where EACs should already have been delivered
  • Delivery date in the future: tranches where delivery is still upcoming

You can also create a custom view using the filters on the right of the table.

Step 2 — Check the delivery status of each tranche

Each deal tranche in the platform carries a delivery status, which is automatically updated based on whether the tranche has been reconciled with registry transactions. The three possible statuses are:

  • Open: no EACs have been reconciled against this tranche yet; delivery has not taken place
  • Partly delivered: some volume has been reconciled but not the full contracted amount. This can mean one tranche of a multi-tranche deal has been delivered, or that only part of the volume for a given tranche has been reconciled.
  • Delivered: the full contracted volume for this tranche has been reconciled with registry transactions

The screenshot below shows how the view might look like in February 2025. In this case, all deals with latest delivery date in the past have been correctly delivered, and all deals with delivery dates in the future are still open. There are no overdue deliveries.

Step 3 — Identify overdue deliveries and take action

The key thing to look for is any tranche with a delivery date in the past that still shows a status of Open or Partly delivered. This means the expected EACs have not yet been matched to a registry transaction, and you may need to act. Check the following:

  1. Have all of your latest registry transactions have been uploaded into the platform?
  2. Have all registry transactions been reconciled?

If the answer to both questions above is yes and a deal with delivery date in the past still has the status Open, there has been a problem. Depending on whether it is a buy or sell deal:

  • Buy deal (inbound): the counterparty may not have transferred the EACs yet. You should chase your counterparty or broker to confirm when the transfer will happen.
  • Sell deal (outbound): your team may need to initiate the transfer of EACs out of your registry account to fulfill the obligation.

Conversely, some, or potentially all, tranches with a delivery date in the future would be expected to show Open status — that is normal and simply means the delivery window has not arrived yet.


How delivery status is determined: the role of reconciliation

The delivery status is automatically derived from the reconciliation workflow. The platform stays in sync with all your registry accounts, pulling in every inbound and outbound EAC transaction. When a registry transaction is reconciled against a deal tranche (i.e. matched to a specific contract), the platform knows how much of that tranche's volume has been fulfilled and updates the delivery status accordingly.

This means the delivery status is only as accurate as your reconciliation data. If the transactions in your registry have not yet been reconciled in the platform, a tranche may appear as Open even if the EACs have already moved.


Tips & things to know

  • Keep reconciliation up to date: the delivery status relies on registry transactions being reconciled in the platform. The more current your reconciliation, the more reliable your delivery monitoring will be.
  • Partly delivered is worth investigating: a tranche in "Partly delivered" status may indicate a split delivery by the counterparty, a partial shortfall, or simply that reconciliation is still in progress.
  • Use saved views: once you have set up a view filtered by past delivery dates, save it so your team can check overdue deliveries quickly as part of a regular workflow.
  • Both buy and sell deals are tracked: delivery status applies equally to inbound (buy) and outbound (sell) tranches, so you can monitor obligations on both sides of your book from the same page.
