How the exchange works
How telecom and media companies exchange business documents
Network operators buy equipment, devices and installation services from manufacturers and distributors, often with serial numbers tracked from shipment to installation. Service providers also send consolidated service invoices to large business customers.
| Document | What it does in this relationship |
|---|---|
| EDI 850Purchase Order | Orders for network equipment, devices and services. |
| EDI 855Purchase Order Acknowledgment | Confirmation of quantities, prices and delivery dates. |
| EDI 856Advance Ship Notice | Ship notices, often with serial numbers for each device. |
| EDI 810Invoice | Invoices for equipment and services. |
| EDI 811Consolidated Service Invoice/Statement | The consolidated service invoice or statement for telecom and utility services. |
What onboarding a new telecom and media partner usually involves
- Agree how serial numbers, part numbers and site or project references are carried.
- For service invoices, agree the account and charge structure the customer needs to audit the bill.
- Test orders, partial shipments and invoice adjustments before replacing portal or spreadsheet exchange.
