Billing Data Transfer

The billing data files contain a range of information about a customer's billed energy use. Oracle Utilities uses this information to deliver personalized energy usage insights through printed reports, email messages, alerts, and web applications. The key fields in the files include:

• Bill Fields
• Bill Segment Fields
• Line Item Fields
• Service Quantity Fields

Not every field is required. Your Delivery Team will work with you to set up the file transfer during program launch. See Billing Data File Specifications for more information.

The billing files can be generated as a data extract using the Oracle Utilities DataConnect solution. DataConnect is available to utilities that have the following Oracle Utilities products:

• Customer Care and Billing 2.8 or higher
• Customer to Meter 2.8 or higher
• Meter Data Management 2.8 or higher

If DataConnect is available to you, your Delivery Team will work with you to leverage it for the billing file.

Note: As part of the setup and data transfer process, you must agree to certain data obligations to ensure the quality and integrity of the data. See Utility Data Obligations for more information.
