1.1 Customer Applications

Businesses have special billing requirements. Receiving billing data in a non-paper format may

be helpful if your company:

• Receives multiple bills

• Consolidates branch, state, or regional bills

• Allocates telecommunications costs between departments

EBS is designed to derive more information from the monthly bill than a net amount due. It

provides the billing information in a format that may be used in making business decisions.

Unprocessed Paper Bill Electronic Billing Data Ready For Analysis

In Addition To the Regular Paper Bill

Without EBS With EBS

Receiving billing information in an electronic format provides the ability to:

Reduce Costs

• Eliminate costly, labor-intensive conversion processing between the paper bill and

other formats.

• Mechanize analysis of communications billing.

• Manage usage and determine telecommunications needs.

1.2 Functionality

EBS provides billing information on a medium other than paper. This alternative is in addition

to the paper bill, which is still received. With EBS, billing data may be loaded directly onto a

customer’s computer for sorting and analyzing the information to local specifications.

Having the bill in a non-paper format enables the information to be easily utilized in making

business decisions. For instance, once loaded onto a local computer, the EBS data file may be

used to:

• Generate usage reports

• Allocate costs between departments

• Combine communications bills with different billing cycles into one monthly file

• Summarize or combine billing information from multi-state locations

A. EBS Data

EBS provides the same information that is on the paper bill. This is EBS Basic and may

include:

• Current Charges Detail

• Payment & Adjustment Detail

• Other Charges and Credits (OC&C)

• Toll and OC&C page/item number for resolving billing problems

• Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS)

• Inter and Intralata toll charges

Depending on your business needs, the EBS file may include different types of billing

information. The following optional information may be selected in addition to the basic

billing data.

FX/TL/CDAR Foreign Exchange / Tie Line / Customer Dialed Account Recording

provides specific call details for these services, which may be used to

analyze the services’ monthly use.

Note: FX and TL records are not available in all areas and certain

switches do not allow simultaneous recording of FX and TL

call details.

1.2 Functionality, Continued

Local Usage Local usage contains individual call detail for local usage charges that

are summarized on the paper bill, including directory assistance calls.

For certain options, it is possible to receive only the Directory

Assistance details, without receiving Local Call details. The Local

Usage option includes Local Calling Plus data.

Local Calling Plus Local Calling Plus contains individual call detail for Local Calling

Plus charges. When Local Calling Plus is selected, the Local Usage

option does not apply.

CSR The Customer Service Record provides billing details of the account’s

services that are not detailed on the paper bill, such as Uniform Service

Order Codes (USOC) and Field Identifier (FID) Codes.

The optional data provides the flexibility for enhanced reporting capabilities and improved

telephone usage analysis. The options may be received individually or in any combination.

B. Delivery Media

EBS is available on tape cartridge, and CD-ROM, or electronically via a T1 line.

2 Processing

EBS billing data is produced by AT&T and transmitted to customers in the electronic format of

their choice. The data may then be analyzed by the customer’s information systems to its

specifications, to meet its business needs.

EBS Processing

The steps involved in working with EBS include:

• File Production

• File Transmission

• Customer Application Development and Report Processing

A. File Production

EBS files are generated on magnetic or electronic media at the end of the billing cycle.

Customers with multiple accounts in multiple billing cycles receive one file for each billing

cycle. These files may be combined at the customer’s site so that costs and usage may be

analyzed across multiple divisions or locations.

B. File Transmission

The EBS file is provided to the customer via magnetic or electronic media, at the customer’s

choice. When magnetic media is chosen, the cartridge is sent to the customer within 10

business days of the billing cycle’s completion.

C. Customer Application Development and Report Processing

The customer programs applications to analyze, process, and report the billing data. To aid

in this task, this Guide contains EBS file layouts, attributes, and the availability of fields and

records. See Section 4.0, Record Layouts, for the records’ names, purposes, fields, lengths,

and attributes. For more detailed Field descriptions, see Section 5.0, Field Glossary.

2.1 Record Levels

A record level identifies the EBS file’s record type. The record level types are:

0 = Header Record

5 = Account Record

9 = Trailer Record

One of these values may be in the record to identify its level.

The Header Record is the file Header Record. It is the file’s first record. The Trailer Record is

the file Trailer record. It is the file’s last record. The Trailer Record contains a count of the file’s

records. It may be used to ensure that all records were received.

Account Records contain billing and related data information. The file always has one account

record. A primary record is an entry on the paper bill, e.g., recurring charges. Each payment and

adjustment is also one record.

Six sub-record types accompany the primary records. There may be multiple sub-records behind

a primary record. Not all records have sub-records. For more information, see Section 4.0,

Record Layouts.

All records are 450 characters (bytes) in length. Each has a beginning segment (CAP) that is 150

bytes long. The remaining 300 bytes is the data record information.

2.3 Data File Structure

A. File Contents

The data received on the tape, or CD ROM is based on the following.

• Data is extracted by bill period, once a month for each account, based on the account’s

bill date.

• Each data entry on the paper bill has a corresponding EBS record.

• Multiple accounts appear on the file in account number sequence.

• Each account’s billing data is separate from other accounts’ billing data.

• Each record has a CAP with customer-identifying detail to enable the user to re-sort the

data without losing critical information for usage analysis. The CAP’s information is

common to all records for an account.

• Certain record types may or may not be included, as appropriate.

• Informational bill messages may be sent as Text Sub-record 20, e.g., rate change notices

and other FYI-type data.

• Data fields are only populated when the information is provided on the paper bill.

B. Header and Trailer

The AT&T file structure creates and associates a header and trailer record for each account

on the file.

EBS implementation includes choosing the media in which we send the records and the accounts

for which the EBS files are sent.

The initial test is limited to 1 to 5 accounts. After the initial test, a complete listing of accounts is

provided to us (See Section 5.3, EBS Accounts Listing). The accounts may have any bill date.

The monthly billing detail may be for one, all, or some accounts. However, one tape, CD ROM

(or set of tapes / CD ROMs), or transmission is provided for each bill date. For example:

Example 1

Implementation Steps

Step 1 Identify the Data Requirements

Each company’s information needs and analysis requirements are different. With EBS, the

files may be reported in any format. For example, a company may require reporting for:

• Monthly departmental use where different organizations in a department are in

different billing cycles

• Multi-state locations

Whatever the data needs, EBS may help by providing the information in an easily

accessible format.

Step 2 Choose the Media on which to Receive the File

Depending upon the file’s size and available resources, the EBS file may be received

on tape cartridge, tape reel, or CD ROM.

Step 3 Complete the Customer Information Form

To order EBS, please complete the Customer Information form in Section 5.2 and

mail or fax it the AT&T Technical Support Group.
