e-Billing with Essentials - saves you time, effort and paper
When you use e-billing with Essentials, you
do away with the need to enter data manually. It gives you
the ability to handle electronic billing, as well as fully
automated processes for bill validation, verification and
payment authorisation.
Essentials billing file support includes:
- the de facto Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standard, Tradacoms Utility Bill File, File Format 26
- supplier-specific file formats
- user-defined text formats
We work closely with energy suppliers to ensure we fully support their electronic billing services and we add new formats as they become available.
The Audit Trail automatically logs bills as they are imported. Status flags are applied to every bill, so it's impossible to lose track of utility bill queries throughout the following key processes:
- data validation - all billing quantities are compared, and configurable exception parameters either pass or fail the bill
- bill verification - to ensure you never pay an inaccurate supplier bill
- payment authorisation - to prevent duplication of payment
Once the bills are in the system, the Audit Trail status flags show which ones have passed validation and verification, which have failed, and which haven't been checked yet.
- select bills based on their status and other criteria and, in a single process, pass them all through Bulk Bill Management for validation and verification
Essentials makes moving to electronic bill payment very straightforward.
- e-Payments creates user-defined export files to match the format required by General and Purchase Ledger systems and VAT reconciliation reports
