3. SVA SHORT FORMAT FILE

The SVA Short Format File is a file that Embedded LDSOs that Mirror a Hosts LDSO’s LLFs can submit to BSCCo detailing how its LLFCs map to its Host LDSO’s LLFCs. It can be submitted in the place of a D0265 file, and BSCCO will use it to create and submit a D0265 on behalf of the Embedded LDSO. It is only available to Embedded LDSOs that Mirror the Host LDSO’s LLFCs.

The SVA Short Format File is submitted as a Microsoft Excel (.XLS) file4. The file should contain a single tab, with a column for the Host LDSO’s MPID, the Host LDSO’s LLFC, the Embedded LDSOs MPID and the Embedded LLFC to be mapped, as well as effective from and to dates that the mappings cover. LDSOs can choose to create an individual file for each SVA MSID or combine multiple MSIDs into one file.

The collection of data records is detailed in the table below.
