Frequently Asked Questions

For Direct Access Customers
Welcome to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) page. This page will provide you with the information you need to implement and become EDI certified with us. Here's a current listing of our online EDI information.

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.

814 - Direct Access Service Request (DASR)

The 814 transaction set or DASR is sent between the Utility and Energy Service Providers (ESPs) for purposes such as connecting a customer (i.e. Connect Request), updating a significant customer event (i.e. Update Request/Notification), or disconnecting a customer (i.e. Disconnect Request).*

Please note that an ESP that exchanges 814 EDI data with PG&E must also be able to receive 867 EDI. The 867 is used to pass the required 12 months of usage history for the customer to the ESP.

820 - Payment and Remittance Order

The 820 transaction set is used to make a payment and send a remittance advice. 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.

867 - Meter Usage

The 867 transaction set is used to transfer meter usage data. Where the ESP is the MDMA the 867 will be sent to PG&E as in inbound file. Where PG&E is the MDMA the 867 will be sent as an outbound file to the ESP. Refer to the implementation checklists below for both the 867 inbound and outbound requirements.

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.
