Set up EDI

EDI implementation is a collaborative process between you, your AT&T Account Team, your designated IT representative, and AT&T IT.

To Set Up EDI

Work with your Account Team to verify that your Foundation Accounts meet the eligibility requirements.

Ask your Account Team to enable your Foundation Accounts for EDI.
Wait for confirmation from your Account Team representative that your accounts have been enabled. This may take a few days.
Determine who your company’s designated IT representative will be for this implementation.
Use eBill to kick off implementation.

After your Account Team confirms that the account(s) are enabled

From Menu Options, under Other, click EDI Profiles. The EDI Profile page appears. (If the EDI Profile link is not visible under Menu Options, your Foundation Account is not yet updated.)

On the EDI Profile page, click and download the “Trading Partner Information” and the “EDI File Specification” documents.

Send both the “Trading Partner Information” and the “EDI File Specification” documents to your company’s IT representative assigned to this implementation.
Click “Start Implementation” on the EDI Profile page to initiate the EDI setup process.
Provide the contact information for your company’s IT representative.
Review the details about the EDI file types outlined in the “EDI File Specification” document. Select the EDI Type, and then click “Submit.”

An AT&T IT representative will contact your designated IT representative within two business days in order to:

Obtain the completed “Trading Partner Information” document.
Set up and test connectivity.
Complete the implementation by setting up automated monthly recurrence of the data transmission.

If the “Trading Partner Information” document is not completed and returned to AT&T within 10 business days of the request to enable the account for EDI, the request will be canceled.
