EnergyCAP® Enterprise

Electronic Bill Import

Receive electronic bills from utility vendors in EDI or in spreadsheet (flat file) formats.

Importing electronic data into EnergyCAP is very beneficial, saving time and money. EnergyCAP has a flexible importer to import flat files. If your vendor provides EDI data, you can import electronic bills using our EDI customization services.

The City of Santa Barbara saves money by efficiently importing utility bills and avoiding the time-consuming and error-prone process of manually keypunching bill data. By using EnergyCAP and services provided by Xebec Data, the city no longer pays erroneous bills, since most problems are caught by Xebec's reporting and the EnergyCAP validation process, which flags bills that are outside of certain parameters.

Santa Barbara also avoids late payments since the city imports bill data the same day the bill is sent and can schedule an accurate payment before the bill due dates. The system helps avoid double payment of invoices since payments are posted as soon as they are received.

Here’s a list of vendors from whom we currently receive EDI invoices. “Yes” means the vendor will distribute 810 electronic invoices but doesn't require 820 electronic payment. This means you can benefit by the speed and accuracy of receiving your bills electronically without the need to submit payment via 820 electronic payment. This opens up EDI invoices for many organizations that cannot submit 820 electronic payments due to limitations with their A/P system or have statutory or procedural restrictions. Please verify payment requirements with your vendor.
