The EnergyIP billing service standard interface elements are defined in the eMeter ‘EipReadsForBillingInterface2.xsd for multiple record types.  The MDM/R deployment of this standard XML interface supports only the ‘RequestMessage’ and ‘ReplyMessage’ record types and will only process those elements and attributes as specified in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the MDM/R Technical Interface Specifications Version 3.3, dated 07 July 2011.  This updated XSD adds attributes to the Reply <Quality> element that will be deployed with EnergyIP Release 7.2 SP7.

eMeter's MDM/R Detailed Design outlines the functions of its core EnergyIP application, which is at the heart of the MDM/R system. However, the MDM/R V1.0 Technical Interface and Reports Specifications, and Validation, Estimation and Editing (VEE) Standard files - which correspond with it -

should now be considered the prevailing documents for information about how the MDM/R functions.

Version 1.2 - March 23, 2011:  Updated for consistency with detail level design development and to incorporate design modifications identified during test case and test data preparation.
