Meeting Minutes
Antitrust was agreed.
Meeting Minutes were accepted.
With Phil and Dan being out, no decisions were made on the message we would start with.
Assignment and Procurement add request messages are the messages that was mentioned to start with.
It was discussed to look at the business flow and determine the messages.
Paul informed the group that the information from the Architecture Committee moving towards API development is something he is going to discuss in the CIECA Board meeting on November, 4, 2020. This is the CIECA Board strategic planning meeting and a great time to look at the future of CIECA.
The JSON initiative would need a Charter and project business plan.
The Architecture Guidelines document was reviewed
BMS section for repeating aggregates that was worked on in the last session was accepted.
Code list section for descriptions not being changed and adding a new code was accepted.
It was mentioned that we need to clarify that adding a description to a code list that did not have a description also changes the meaning and we should create a new code.
We walked through some changes to the GitHub section of the document but ran out of time.
We do not have it defined that TotalType, PartType and Rate type need to be in sync or be 4 characters for EMS, we need to define what we want with the sync and the characters and identify it in the Architecture Guidelines.
TotalType, PartType and RateType Code list
Mike and Paulette both provided documents to show the differences in the code list.
Brief review of the information.
Shows that a number are out of sync through the 3 code list
currently have codes with 4 characters, however, we are running out of Labor Codes and we need to look at the impact of moving this code to 5 characters.
Total Type already has Codes that are descriptions and are over the 4 character code.
Discussed the ROE is the new standard but it may be a trademark value and should we add trademark values to our code list?
PAL will be changed back for Part Type to the EMS original wording.
