Sample EDI Bill
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) billings can be obtained from many electric and natural gas vendors. While EDI billings typically follow an overall utility industry standard format, each individual vendor has a lot of flexibility in how they represent their particular bills. As you can see in the sample below from Dominion Virginia Power, an EDI billing is not just a spreadsheet with nicely laid out rows and columns. Each row contains several fields and every field position has specific meaning.
