Amendment window review/Lessons learnt

• Daily capacity across the Industry – 250k• Submissions exceeding this volume will be rejected• Refer to profile capacity for assured submission volumes

• Files may still be processed if you exceed entitlement• If sufficient spare capacity• Otherwise files will ‘roll-over’ (except if >250k submitted)

• Good practise to keep record count (per file) small

• Please advise of unusual/high submission volumes • Including Spec Calc files
