This segment is used to identify the delivery party (premise) for which consumption information is being provided. For the purpose of this message a premise may be either a physical location where meters are found or an entity within an organisation (e.g. sales department) which issues credit or charge cards to their representatives for the procurement of metered products, i.e. telephone calls, gasoline products, etc.

This segment is the trigger segment to the detail section of the message and must therefore be included at least once in each message.

When the message is used to provide consumption information related to an invoice (using code 94E in the BGM segment) this segment group should only be repeated once. When the message is used to indicate consumption or qualitative information (using the code 93E in the BGM segment) this segment may be repeated to identify each premise for which information is being provided.
