EDCH Electronic Invoice Data (EID) Exchange

Commercial Outline
Today the Financial Clearing process is using significant resources to reconcile roaming revenues based on the paper invoices exchanged between roaming partners. The EID Exchange service provides Financial Clearing Houses with an automated means of exchanging invoice data based on the GSMA standard defined in PRD BA.36. The EID Exchange will not make the current use of paper invoices redundant, but it is expected to be a valuable additional tool to help ensure timely and correct monthly completion of the Financial Clearing process. EDCH will be offering the EID Exchange service in st line with the GSMA standards by the 1 of October 2011. 3. Upload EID File. Having uploaded the EID file successfully in the system will complete the process. The EID Exchange process will become mandatory st from the 1 of October 2011 for all Financial Clearing House and operators conducting their own settlement may optionally use EID Exchange.

EID Exchange
In addition to the paper invoice exchange that Financial Clearing Houses are using today it is now possible to also exchange invoice data electronically by means of a pre-defined data format and according to a standardized business process described in PRD BA.36. The PRD BA.36 defines all rules for creation of roaming invoices and for the avoidance of any doubts, it is intended that EID Exchange will be executed in parallel with the paper invoice exchange. The paper invoice will thus remain the legally binding document. The EID Exchange is therefore a supporting tool to the existing process and will help exchange financial data in a timely and correct manner, reflecting positively on the completion of the monthly Financial Clearing process. Introduction to the EID Exchange steps: Sending party 1. Generate EID File. 2. Submit EID File. 3. Wait for EID File Status Acknowledgement. The process will be complete when a positive Ack File has been returned from the receiving party. Receiving party 1. Check EID File. 2. Return EID File Status Acknowledgment to the sending party.
