2 Multiple Billing on Magnetic Media - Overview Overview This electronic file is output from the EDF energy CC&B system and contains billing information for customers. The file is sent from CC&B to up to 3 possible destinations : The EDF Energy EDI gateway, where it is translated into one of several possible EDI formats and sent to the customer via BT EDI*net The EDF Energy Internet application (MyAccount) where it is reformatted as a CSV/XLS file and displayed via a web page A standard microsoft server from where it is picked up by a mail application and ed directly to the customer in question. The customer may or may not use EDF supplied software to read their bills. The technical set up of the file is as follows: The headers and trailers will always be present, the detail records only when present on the bill. The file is a fixed format text file with a maximum record length of 650 bytes. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in pence with a + or - sign in the first position, padded with zeroes. All fields are in character representation. All dates in the format yyyymmdd. The file will be sorted ascending by fields 1 to 8 on each record.
