÷ First 3 spaces= V40
÷ Next 3 spaces= Abbreviated CR name
÷ Then followed by a unique number for each transaction
— CRs will be required to follow up with the corrected BGN02 on a Safety Net correction to the TDSP once their actual BGN02 is available.
— TDSPs will no longer accept default BGN values on Monday, June 11 at 08:00 CPT or as soon as Texas SET Version 4.0 transactions begin to flow.
