INTRODUCTION This specification provides the definition of the Job information demand message (JINFDE) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport. 1. SCOPE 1.1 Functional definition A message sent by a governmental agency to an employer in response to a work grant request. This message asks for specific additional information (e.g. visa) for further processing of the work grant request. 1.2 Field of application The Job information demand message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. 1.3 Principles The message is designed to request additional information about a person and/or a job (e.g. specific documents) for further processing of a work grant or permit request. A Job Information Demand Message is transmitted from a governmental agency to an employer. A Job Information Demand Message may contain detailed information about a person and/or the required missing documents. 2. REFERENCES See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1. 3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS 3.1 Standard terms and definitions See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2. 4. MESSAGE DEFINITION 4.1 Segment clarification This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements. The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the message: All specified dates and times should be in the format 'yymmdd' or 'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree that there is a functional requirement for an alternative format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the required period as indicated in the format qualifier (weeks, months, etc.) Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element should be used wherever possible. Conditional data that is not required in the message should not be included. Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent segments does not conflict with the segment qualifier of the trigger segment of a group. 4.1.1 Header section Information to be provided in the Header section: 00010 UNH, Message header A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message. The message type code for the Job information demand message is JINFDE. Note: Job information demand messages conforming to this document must contain the following data in segment UNH, composite S009: Data element 0065 JINFDE 0052 D 0054 23A 0051 UN 00020 BGM, Beginning of message A segment by which the sender must uniquely identify the demand of job information by means of its type and number and, when necessary, its function. 00030 DTM, Date/time/period A segment specifying general dates and, when relevant, times related to the whole message. The segment must be specified at least once to identify the document date. The Date/time/period segment within other Segment groups should be used whenever the date or time or period requires to be logically related to another specified data item. 00040 Segment group 1: PNA-ADR-LOC-DTM-SG2 A group of segments identifying the parties with associated information. 00050 PNA, Party identification A segment identifying names of the parties, in coded or clear form, and their functions relevant to the Job Information Demand Message. Identification of the enterprise and the job administration parties is mandatory for the Job Information Demand Message. It is recommended that, where possible, only the coded form of the party identification should be specified, e.g. where the enterprise and the job administration are known to each other, thus only the coded identification is required, but a job center or a job application address (interview) may vary and would have to be clearly specified, preferably in structured format. 00060 ADR, Address A segment identifying the address of the relevant party. 00070 LOC, Place/location identification A segment giving more specific location information of the party specified in the ADR segment, e.g. internal site or building number. 00080 DTM, Date/time/period A segment specifying the relevant date or time. 00090 Segment group 2: CTA-COM A group of segments giving contact details of the specific person or department within the party identified in the PNA segment. 00100 CTA, Contact information A segment to identify a person or department and their function, to whom communications should be directed. 00110 COM, Communication contact A segment to identify a communications type and number for the contact specified in the CTA segment, e.g. telephone- number, fax-number, telex-number. 00120 Segment group 3: RFF-DTM A group of segments for giving references and, where necessary, their dates, relating to the whole message. 00130 RFF, Reference A segment identifying the reference by its number related to the whole message. 00140 DTM, Date/time/period A segment specifying the date or time related to the reference. 00150 Segment group 4: GEI-FTX A group of segments specifying general processing indicators and, when necessary, additional textual information, relevant for the whole message. 00160 GEI, Processing information A segment specifying general indicators for the whole message. 00170 FTX, Free text A segment with free text information, in coded or clear form, used when additional information is needed but cannot be accommodated within other segments. In computer to computer exchanges such text will normally require the receiver to process this segment manually. 4.1.2 Detail section Information to be provided in the Detail section: 00180 UNS, Section control A mandatory service segment placed before the first user segment in the detail section to avoid segment collision. 00190 Segment group 5: RFF-SG6-SG8-FTX-SG9 A group of segments providing details of the demand for job information. There must be at least one occurrence of Segment group 5 within an Job Information Demand Message. This Segment group may be repeated to give information about demands for job information of several other persons. The Segment group 5 gives information about the person and the required documents for further processing. 00200 RFF, Reference A segment identifying the administrative operation by a number given by the employment agency, e.g. work grant number of a foreign person. 00210 Segment group 6: PNA-ADR-LOC-DTM-NAT-PDI-DOC-SG7 A group of segments specifying identity and related information regarding the person designated in a work grant or permit request and those involved with the processing of job information. 00220 PNA, Party identification A segment giving the identity in coded or clear form of the person as designated in the related work grant or permit request.

In computer to computer exchanges such text will normally require the receiver to process this segment manually. 00390 UNT, Message trailer A service segment ending a message, giving the total number of segments in the message (including the UNH & UNT) and the control reference number of the message. 4.2 Segment index (alphabetical sequence by tag) ADR Address BGM Beginning of message COM Communication contact CTA Contact information DOC Document/message details DTM Date/time/period FTX Free text GEI Processing information LOC Place/location identification NAT Nationality PDI Person demographic information PNA Party identification RFF Reference UNH Message header UNS Section control UNT Message trailer
