EDI Billing Format

Every type of electronic billing file to be created must be formatted specifically for the software receiving it. The EDI Billing Format screen gives you the flexibility to create multiple file layouts and use those layouts in the extract / transform process to create the correct output. Specific information will be gathered about the resulting file including type of file, columns, data types, and lengths, and whether fields are required.
