Question 2.1.48 Data Field (53)

Question 2.1.48 Data Field (53)

Please can you provide some sample messages using the IB and XB notation, so including or excluding bank holidays.  I can see them in the TRUM but am having problems visualising practically how they would work.

An Eastern European off-peak trade that delivers

M-F excluding bank holidays from 0-8

M-F excluding bank holidays from 20-24

Sat-Sun 0 – 24

AND Bank holidays 0-24

The problem is I can’t see how to use IB and XB – the daysOfTheWeek tags are restricted in a way that I can’t see how to store what I think should be the case i.e. adding XB to the MOtoFR days designation.

Is this the kind of detail you were intending? An example would be great. Thanks

<deliveryProfile>

<daysOfTheWeek>MOtoFRXB</daysOfTheWeek>

<loadDeliveryStartTime>08:00:00</loadDeliveryStartTime>

<loadDeliveryEndTime>20:00:00</loadDeliveryEndTime>

</deliveryProfile>

<deliveryProfile>

<daysOfTheWeek>MOtoFRXB</daysOfTheWeek>

<loadDeliveryStartTime>08:00:00</loadDeliveryStartTime>

<loadDeliveryEndTime>20:00:00</loadDeliveryEndTime>

</deliveryProfile>

<deliveryProfile>

<daysOfTheWeek>SAtoSUIB</daysOfTheWeek>

<loadDeliveryStartTime>00:00:00</loadDeliveryStartTime>

<loadDeliveryEndTime>00:00:00</loadDeliveryEndTime>

</deliveryProfile>


Answer

XB indicates that on Bank Holidays that profile does not apply and it is excluded. IB indicates that on Bank Holidays the same profile applies. In order to correctly use XB and IB, the field <daysOfTheWeek> </daysOfTheWeek> has to be reported twice in order to indicate the exclusion or inclusion of Bank Holidays. For example:

For XB:

<deliveryProfile>

<daysOfTheWeek>MOtoFR</daysOfTheWeek>

<daysOfTheWeek>XB</daysOfTheWeek>

<loadDeliveryStartTime>08:00:00</loadDeliveryStartTime>

<loadDeliveryEndTime>20:00:00</loadDeliveryEndTime>

</deliveryProfile>

For IB:

<deliveryProfile>

<daysOfTheWeek>SAtoSU</daysOfTheWeek>

<daysOfTheWeek>IB</daysOfTheWeek>

<loadDeliveryStartTime>00:00:00</loadDeliveryStartTime>

<loadDeliveryEndTime>00:00:00</loadDeliveryEndTime>
