**Check identifiers** - [44042](/en/schnittstellen/202604/pruefi/UTILMD_GAS/PI_44042) — Registration MSB · AS4
### Response to registration This step runs between other market partners and is not relevant for this view.
**Check identifiers** - [44044](/en/schnittstellen/202604/pruefi/UTILMD_GAS/PI_44044) — Rejection of registration MSB · AS4 - [44043](/en/schnittstellen/202604/pruefi/UTILMD_GAS/PI_44043) — Confirmation of registration MSB · AS4
**Response per decision tree** - `44044`, `44043` → `E_2002`
### Information about preliminary registration confirmation
**Check identifiers** - [21007](/en/schnittstellen/202604/pruefi/IFTSTA/PI_21007) — Status message · AS4
**Flow**
  1. Message from **NB** · AS4
  2. **Load data for the incoming check** - [Read metering location](/en/api/202604/backend-lesen/getmeterlocationbasic#messlokation-lesen) `GET /getMeterLocationBasic` Try it
  3. **APERAK checks** - `21007` → `Z10`
  4. **Write endpoint** - Transaction created — [Create process data](/en/api/202604/backend-schreiben-msb/createprocessdata#prozessdaten-erstellen) `POST /createProcessData` Try it out Creates a new transaction in the backend with the data of the incoming message.
  5. **Write endpoint** - Transaction updated — [Update process data](/en/api/202604/backend-schreiben-msb/updateprocessdata#prozessdaten-aktualiseren) `POST /updateProcessData` Try it out Updates the existing transaction in the backend with the data of the incoming message.
  6. **Load data for the check** - [Read metering location](/en/api/202604/backend-lesen/getmeterlocationbasic#messlokation-lesen) `GET /getMeterLocationBasic` Try it
### Notification of the overall transaction This step runs between other market partners and is not relevant for this view.
**Check identifiers** - [21009](/en/schnittstellen/202604/pruefi/IFTSTA/PI_21009) — Status message · AS4 - [21010](/en/schnittstellen/202604/pruefi/IFTSTA/PI_21010) — Status message · AS4

## Process information
  1. ### First message **NB** sends “Information on the preliminary registration confirmation” (step 3). From here on, it is the turn of the party involved on this page.
## 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 MSBN](/en/prozessdoku/202604/MSB--MSBN/awh-wim-gas-2-0-beginn-messstellenbetrieb) — the receiving MSB · market role MSB - [View NB](/en/prozessdoku/202604/NB/awh-wim-gas-2-0-beginn-messstellenbetrieb) — NB *The source provides no use case profile for this process — objective, precondition and result are not recorded there.* *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. The numbers are those of the source; where one is missing, it is missing there.* :::caution{title="Step sequence reconstructed"} For this process, the BNetzA consolidated version carries no sequence diagram. The steps are reconstructed from the BDEW check identifier table: grouped by the designation, ordered by the process step. The method agrees with the consolidated version in 200 of 200 cases that can be cross-checked — the individual line is nevertheless not editorially reviewed. Check it against the rulebook before adopting it into an implementation specification. ::: For these decision trees of the process there is no source in this format version: - `E_2002` - `E_2003`
