Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Business/commercial customers can take advantage of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) billing—the direct computer-to-computer exchange of business transactions between "trading partners" (customers, vendors, banks, etc.). The data exchanged is machine readable and formatted according to transaction standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI X. 12).

Preliminary customer requirements

1. EDI Software - If your organization does not already have EDI capability, you will need to purchase and install EDI translation software. The software must be capable of receiving the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X-12, Utility Industry Group (UIG), Transaction Set 810 Invoice.

   
   
2. DUNS Number or Other Unique Identifier - You will need to obtain a Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), a common company identifier in EDI and global electronic commerce transactions used on all EDI transactions by Enbridge Gas.
   
   A DUNS number can be obtained by calling 844-241-5191 or by visiting the Dun & Bradstreet website. Enbridge Gas can also accept a unique identifier for EDI billing transactions in lieu of a DUNS number.

How to set up EDI billing

Please allow approximately 3-5 days for this process.

• Step 1: Complete and return an EDI Billing Customer Agreement available through your account manager or the billing department. If you are a third party billing aggregator, complete and return a Third Party Agreement.
• Step 2: Once the necessary agreement(s) are received, the EDI billing department will contact you to explain the electronic testing requirements and schedule a date for testing to begin.
• Step 3: We will transmit a set of test invoices specifically used for EDI certification to ensure a successful download of invoices into your financial processing system.
• Step 4: Once testing is complete, your account will be switched to EDI and you will no longer receive paper bills. The EDI billing department will notify you when the first EDI invoice is initiated.
