Electronic Data Interchange for Bundled Service Customers

810 - Billing

The 810 transaction set is used to provide established PG&E billing data in an electronic format to its customers. The billing data provided electronically reflects the same information that appears on a traditional paper bill and is consistent with national standards for EDI.

820 - Payment Remittance

The 820 transaction set is used to make a payment and send remittance advices. This transaction set can be an order to a financial institution to make a payment to a payee. It can also be a remittance advice identifying the detail needed to perform cash application to the payee's accounts receivable system. PG&E's application requires that the 820 go through a financial institution.

997 - Functional Acknowledgement

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Functional Acknowledgment Transaction Set (997) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to define the control structures for a set of acknowledgments to indicate the results of the syntactical analysis of the electronically encoded documents. The encoded documents are the transaction sets, which are grouped in functional groups, used in defining transactions for business data interchange. This standard does not cover the semantic meaning of the information encoded in the transaction sets.
