# Transmission of a definition of LF by LF — LF view - All MSB always receive the current metering time definitions of the LF or - all NB and MSB always receive the current switching time definitions of the LF or - all NB and MSB always receive the current power curve definitions of the LF.

## Process information Wording of the consolidated version, profile ch. 1.2.4.1, pp. 18–19.
  1. ### Preconditions - The - Overview of the metering time definitions of the LF or - Overview of the switching time definitions of the LF or - Overview of the power curve definition of the LF is available to the authorised parties.
  2. ### Results - In the case of the transmission of a switching time definition of LF or a power curve definition of LF: NB can trace a definition assigned to a location. - The MSB can set up a configuration for a location for which a definition is required. - In the case of the order placement of a configuration for which a definition is required: LF can carry out the use case “Order placement of a configuration from NB or LF to MSB” (e.g. for the order placement of a configuration for which a metering time period definition of LF is required).
  3. ### Further requirements - The LF transmits definitions with the highest version number for each time period. - For a time period, the definition with the highest version number is valid. - On first transmission, all definitions used are to be sent in their respective valid version. This also applies when they are rolled out for the following years for the first time. - The definition must always be specified for a complete calendar year. In the case of corrections, only the corrected definition for the entire calendar year is to be sent.
  4. ### Trigger - A definition already transmitted has changed or - a definition has been newly added to the corresponding overview or - the LF has created definitions for the following year. **Runs beforehand:** [Complaint about a definition of the LF from MSB to LF](/en/prozessdoku/202604/LF/GPKE-Teil3-reklamation-einer-definition-des-lf-vom-msb-an-lf), [Complaint about a definition of the LF from NB to LF](/en/prozessdoku/202604/LF/GPKE-Teil3-reklamation-einer-definition-des-lf-vom-nb-an-lf), [Transmission of the overview of the definitions of the LF by the LF](/en/prozessdoku/202604/LF/GPKE-Teil3-uebermittlung-der-uebersicht-der-definitionen-des-lf-durch-den-lf) — these processes name the one shown here in their result.
  5. ### First message The party involved on this page is itself the sender of: „Definition of the LF“ to **NB** (step 1).
  6. ### Objective - The MSB know the metering time definitions of LF or - the NB and MSB know the switching time definitions of the LF or - the NB and MSB know the power curve definitions of the LF.
## Other views of the process The same process through the eyes of the other parties involved: the same steps, each read from their point of view. - [View NB](/en/prozessdoku/202604/NB/GPKE-Teil3-uebermittlung-einer-definition-des-lf-durch-den-lf) — NB - [View MSB](/en/prozessdoku/202604/MSB/GPKE-Teil3-uebermittlung-einer-definition-des-lf-durch-den-lf) — MSB *The steps are the **possible** messages of this process, not a sequence — the source lists neither conditions nor alternatives. The small box on the step names the own view on the left: with **←** it receives, with **→** it sends. Collapsed steps run between other market partners.*
