814 General Request, Response or Confirmation

Functional Group ID=GE

Introduction:

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the General Request, Response or Confirmation Transaction Set (814) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This standard can be used to request actions to be performed, to respond to a request for actions to be performed or to confirm information related to actions performed.

Transaction Set Notes

1.	The NM1 loop is used to identify the parties associated with the individual line item (LIN), such as an individual consumer in a consolidated third party Consumer Service Provider transaction.

	Segment:	ST Transaction Set Header
	Position:	010
	Loop:
	Level:	Heading
	Usage:	Mandatory
	Max Use:	1
	Purpose:	To indicate the start of a transaction set and to assign a control number
	Syntax Notes:
	Semantic Notes:	1	The transaction set identifier (ST01) is used by the translation routines of the interchange partners to select the appropriate transaction set definition (e.g., 810 selects the Invoice Transaction Set).

There will only be one REF*MT segment for each NM1 loop.  If there are multiple meter types on this meter, only one REF*MT will be sent. It will contain the code COMBO. The specific meter type will be identified in the REF03 field in subsequent REF segments for this meter (i.e. REF*4P, REF*IX, REF*TU). 

Type of Consumption               Metering Interval
K1     Kilowatt Demand               Nnn     Number of minutes from 001 to 999
K2     Kilovolt Amperes Reactive Demand     ANN     Annual

For Example:
KHMON     Kilowatt Hours Per Month          
K1015     Kilowatt Demand per 15 minute interval          
               
Other Valid Codes          
COMBO     This code is used to indicate that the meter has multiple measurements, e.g., one meter that measures both kWh and Demand.
