EDI Supplier Validators
Account Validation
The account number in an EDI file may be interpreted in various ways using Account Validation. Any number of first/last 'n' characters may be truncated ("trimmed"), or exclusively used "use only first/last 'n' characters"). Prefix and suffix characters may be added to account numbers, prior to EDI file loading to Sigma. Some EDI providers maintain a single account number for a group of sites (such as those belonging to one owner) and multiple 'premises' numbers for each site. If necessary, the premise code may be selected, to transfer EDI for individual sites to the correct site in Sigma; in this case the account number in Sigma would need to correspond to the premise code. As well as account number, the meter number may be used additionally. The option to perform historic number search will merge billing information of accounts with new numbers, to the same accounts that previously referred to discontinued account numbers; most likely to occur when a supplier announces a change in account numbers such as the addition of extra digits.

The validator will check for an 'amr' charge in your EDI file or an alternative charge description if set-up on the USM settings, such as 'Smart metering package'.
If the charge description is found - the validator will check via the Supply Point for a valid meter of type 'AMR Meter' with an 'Energy Consumption' Periodic Channel.
- If this is found - it then checks for data present in the channel for the period of the bill. If the data is found it passes, if not it fails.
* No valid AMR meters found - Either the meter is not linked in the supply point, the contract is not current for the billing period or the Meter type is not 'AMR Meter'
* No valid AMR data found in bill period - A valid AMR meter has been found, but the Channel is not 'Energy Consumption' or there is no Channel
* No valid AMR data found in bill period, last available data on... - Everything is setup correctly but there is no data that matches the billing period
