This specification provides the definition of the Utilities time series message (UTILTS) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.
The Utilities time series message is sent between responsible parties in a utilities infrastructure for the purpose of reporting time series and connected technical and/or administrative information.
The Utilities time series 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.
The Utilities time series message may contain time series for metered values, forecasts, estimates, prices, etc. Connected to each time series there may be technical and administrative information, such as characteristics of a meter, exchange rates, etc. Each time series will be identified by the companies and/or locations that are reported, the product and the validity time period. The message may be an initial message and does not require a response.
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.
TIME SERIES: A sequence of observations of a single process often taken at equal time intervals.
This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements.
A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message. The message type code for the Utilities time series message is UTILTS.
Note: Utilities time series messages conforming to this document must contain the following data in segment UNH, composite S009:
| Data element | 0065 | UTILTS |
| 0052 | D | |
| 0054 | 01B | |
| 0051 | UN |
A segment by which the sender uniquely identifies the Utilities time series message by means of its name and number and when necessary its function.
A segment specifying general dates and, when relevant, 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 to which market and/or through which sales distribution channel and/or for which end-use the time series relates.
A group of segments giving references and, where necessary, their dates relating to the whole message.
