This specification provides the definition of the Metered services consumption report message (MSCONS) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
A metered services consumption report is a communication between trading parties, or their agents, providing consumption and where associated technical, information at a location(s) for a product(s) or service(s) where the supply is recorded using a meter(s).
The Metered services consumption report message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.
See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2.
This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements.
The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the message:
Information to be provided in the Header section:
A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message. The message type code for the Metered services consumption report message is MSCONS.
Note: Metered services consumption report messages conforming to this document must contain the following data in segment UNH, composite S009:
| Data element | 0065 | MSCONS |
| 0052 | D | |
| 0054 | 00A | |
| 0051 | UN |
A segment by which the sender must uniquely identify the metered services consumption report.
A segment specifying the dates, and when relevant, the times related to the whole message. The segment must be specified at least once to specify the message date as allocated by the sender.
A segment to specify currencies and relevant details for the rate of exchange.
A group of segments for specifying any references and their dates valid for the whole report.
A segment for the inclusion of any references related to the complete report, e.g. invoice number, contract number.
A segment specifying the date and where necessary the time of the reference detailed in the preceding RFF segment.
A group of segments identifying the parties involved in the transaction, reference numbers associated with the parties, and any contact points and numbers.
A segment to identify the party name and address, either by coded identification or in clear form. It is recommended that were possible only the coded form of the party identification should be specified, e.g. the buyer and seller are known to each other, thus only the coded identification is required.
A group of segments for specifying any references relating to the party identified in the NAD segment.
A segment for inclusion of any references related to the current party, e.g. fiscal number, government reference number, etc.
A segment specifying the date and where necessary the time of the reference detailed in the preceding RFF segment.
A group of segments identifying the contact person or department for trading party and specifying the communication channel and number.
A segment to identify a person or department and their function, to whom communication should be directed.
A segment specifying the communication channel and number for the specified contact.
Information to be provided in the Detail section:
A segment placed at the start of the detail section to avoid segment collision.
A group of segments identifying the delivery party (premise) and the meter for which consumption is being reported.
A segment to identify the delivery party (premise) for which the following consumption information is being provided. It is recommended that where possible codes be used to identify the delivery party to facilitate the automatic processing.
A group of segments identifying the meter being reported, the date of the meter read, associated references, the physical characteristics of the meter, and the product or service for which consumption information is reported.
A segment to allow the identification of the meter to which the consumption information relates. It is recommended that where possible codes be used to identify the delivery party to facilitate automatic processing.
A segment to specify dates associated with the reading of the meter.
A group of segments for specifying any references and associated dates valid for the meter identified in the LOC segment.
A segment identifying any references related to the meter identified in the LOC segment (e.g. serial number).
A segment to specify any dates associated with the currently referenced document.
A group of segments used to provide characteristic information and associated dates for the current meter.
A segment to describe the characteristics of the currently identified meter (e.g. sealed meter, banded meter).
A segment specifying the date and where necessary the time related to the previously identified meter characteristics (e.g. installation date, connection date, meter banding date).
A group of segments providing details of the metered products or services, quantities, characteristics, and any associated dates.
A segment identifying the metered product or service for which consumption information is being provided.
A segment providing additional identification to the product or service specified in the LIN segment (e.g. buyer's or supplier's product codes).
A segment for describing the metered product or service being reported. This segment should only be used for metered products or services that cannot be fully identified by an article number.
A segment providing the unit price of the currently identified product or service.
A segment to identify parties related to the supply of the service (e.g. party telephoned) or related to the party who supplied the service (e.g. a petrol filling station).
A segment to specify the total cost of the product or service currently being reported upon, e.g. the total cost of local telephone calls.
A group of segments providing details of the meter read, consumption, correction quantities, and associated dates.
A segment identifying the consumption details, e.g. opening meter read, consumption, adjustments (correction).
A segment to specify dates related to the previously specified consumption information.
A segment giving a status for the quantity, e.g. metered, estimated or corrected.
A group of segments providing characteristic details, measurements, and dates related to the details for the currently identified line item.
A segment used to describe the characteristics of the currently identified product or service (e.g. calorific values, chlorine content).
A segment enabling the indication of measurements related to the characteristics identified in the preceding CCI segment.
A segment to specify dates related to the previously specified characteristic information.
Information to be provided in the Summary section:
A segment by which control totals may be sent by the sender for checking by the receiver.
A service segment ending a message, giving the total number of segments in the message (including the UNH & UNT) and the control reference number of the message.
