If you can conduct Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and have access to a Value Added Network, you can receive your SCE billing information electronically. You can also pay your bill electronically, thereby eliminating one more paper process for your accounting department. In addition to reducing paperwork and increasing efficiency and productivity, electronic billing enables you to:
- Access billing and energy-use information more quickly and easily.
- Perform budget and trend analysis in a historical database with no data entry or paperwork required.
- Expedite the payment approval process to avoid late payment charges.
- Upload information directly into accounting systems.
- Eliminate costly data entry mistakes.
- Standardize electronic communications with all trading partners.
- Eliminate bills lost or delayed in the mail.
How It Works
To ensure a smooth transition to EDI Billing, you will work closely with an Edison EDI representative and test selected accounts. Once the testing has been completed to your satisfaction and all aspects of the EDI transactions have been completed you will have a choice of which accounts you want on EDI. These accounts will be added to EDI and the paper bill will cease.
Billing Inserts and other important information normally received with your paper statement can be viewed in our Brochure Library. Because SCE transmits your bill via EDI on the same day that your bill would typically be prepared, you have the information immediately. After reviewing the EDI billing transmissions, your accounting department can make payment using EDI by sending an electronic transmission in the ANSI ASC X12 format known as 820 remittance advice.
