EarliestCallTimeStamp

Validations ASN.1 Parent Types

The Earliest Call Timestamp is, as it implies, the earliest start of charging timestamp on any record.  It is not necessarily the start of charging timestamp of the first charge record on the file.

The timestamp contains the same timestamp as that of the earliest Call Event Details when all times have been normalised to UTC time.

Where the batch contains SCU records either the completion or deposit timestamp must be taken into account according to the charging point value.

When the batch contains Content Transaction call/events the Content Charging Point value must be taken into account if more than one of Order Placed Timestamp, Requested Delivery Timestamp or Actual Delivery Timestamp are present in the call/event.  If only a single timestamp is present then this is taken as the charging point.

Timestamps from calls with severe errors must also be taken into account if possible i.e. no type 10 or 20 errors occurred in the timestamp field

The time is given in the local time of the Sender (or Serving Network where this is not the Sender).  There must be a UTC Time Offset associated with the timestamp.

Optionality:

Transfer is at the discretion of the Sender PMN.

Conditionality: 

Mandatory within group Audit Control Information subject to optionality.
