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.

1.1 Customer Applications, Continued
Enhanced Processing
• Receive bills for multiple accounts at one time and in a uniform electronic format.
• Re-sort billing data for usage analysis without losing critical information.
• Audit the accuracy of bills for payment, resolving and reconciling billing issues
rapidly and efficiently.
• Designate charges to various internal work groups or departments.
• Summarize and/or consolidate billing details for multiple accounts and/or multi-
state locations.

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.

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,

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.

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.
