Here are the latest improvements to Molecule...

Certificate Allocations Solution

This release includes a number of enhancements to our renewable certificate allocations tools. This feature simplifies the process of managing and allocating renewable energy certificates, and is included with Hive, Molecule's add-on product for certificate management. Contact your account manager to learn more.

Enhancements to Allocation Data Synchronization

MOL-18650 - Improvements were made to the source data for the Allocations screen, resolving an issue where the Allocations Summary Chart and the Obligations Table had fallen out of sync, providing users with a more accurate view.

Improvements to Asset Entry and Ticket Management

MOL-18417 - Enhancements ensure that related tickets are consistently updated when as-generated trades are actualized via asset entry, except when the as_of_date exceeds the settlement or ticket fulfillment date. These changes improve the accuracy of ticket tracking and fulfillment processes.

New Child Row Distinction in Obligation Summary

MOL-18649 - We’ve improved the Obligation Summary Table on the product app UI by splitting the ‘Allocated’ values into separate rows for finalized and unfinalized allocations. This helps users distinguish between allocation statuses at a glance.

Recalculate Inventory on Finalized Allocation Tickets

MOL-18648 - Inventory is now recalculated automatically when a ticket is created from a finalized allocation, covering all relevant dates between the ticket's fulfillment date and the allocation's finalization. This enhancement ensures inventory data stays up-to-date.

Improved Trade API Deduplication

MOL-18688 - Enhancements to the Trade API address deduplication issues, refining the process to ensure unique trade identifiers when submitting identical payloads. This improvement reduces errors and supports better data accuracy in trade creation workflows.

Custom Fields UX

We've improved custom field management ahead of our planned launch of a new custom fields management screen, coming in early 2024 This screen will allow users with appropriate permissions to create and manage custom fields.

Improved Error Messaging for Custom Fields

MOL-18577 - Lengthy trade upload error notifications have been revamped to provide more readable error messages, helping users quickly identify and resolve issues in trade uploads.

Case-Insensitive Validation for Custom Fields

MOL-18572 - Case sensitivity for custom field names and their values during trade creation has been disabled. In addition, leading and trailing whitespaces are automatically removed, helping to reduce errors on when changes to custom fields.

ICE Allocation Messages

We're working on more complete support for ICE Allocation Messages. These changes are required to enable full support in a forthcoming release.

Enhanced Support for Security Definition by Symbol

MOL-18628 - We’ve updated the system to handle allocation messages more effectively by enabling better support for security definitions by symbol. This enhancement ensures smoother handling of these messages.

Storing ICE Allocation Messages in the Database

MOL-18575 - ICE Allocation messages are now more complete as they are stored in the system for processing. These updates pave the way for more robust message handling in the future.

Hourly Forecast Management for PPAs

Molecule automates the loading of long-term generation forecasts at the hourly and sub-hourly level across all assets. This release incorporates performance improvements to enable more efficient and streamlined PPA management.

Improved Efficiency of PPA Trade Creation Jobs

MOL-18641 - Trade Leg jobs that previously caused "noisy neighbor" problems are now routed through customer-specific queues. This change minimizes disruptions and improves performance for high-volume trades.

MOL-18640 - Changes to leg building for stepwise trades ensure that future-dated trades do not block other processes, improving overall system efficiency during trade creation.

MOL-18638 - Optimized the performance of trade leg and settlement configuration for long-term PPAs. This update significantly reduces processing time.

MOL-18642 - We’ve stopped generating electron flow volumes for some child trades. This optimization prevents unnecessary system processing.

MOL-18645 - Changes to the automatic copying of hourly marks reduce overhead for high-granularity PPA data. Bulk copying via scheduled jobs remains available for users who need it.

MOL-18643 - Unnecessary flow-building jobs that generate redundant processes have been removed. This change reduces system load, ensuring that only meaningful processes are executed.
