Ameritech EDI Payment Program820 Implementation GuideRelease 2.01.2Section 1Ameritech EDI Billing ProgramEDI Overview, ContinuedThere are four major technical components to EDI systems: Standards, Translators, CommunicationLinks and Application Interfaces. Each will be briefly described below:1. StandardsStandards refer to ANSI X12 Transactions or structured computer readable business documents.Standards are managed by a national organization known as the American National StandardsInstitute or ANSI. There are several committees within ANSI. The group that defines EDItransactions for the US and Canada is known as X12. Industries may interpret transactionsdifferently based upon a particular industry need. Several industry based groups have beenformed for EDI standards development. The telecommunication industry group is known asTCIF or the Telecommunication Industry Forum. Ameritech supports and participates in thedevelopment of EDI guidelines including the development of the Consolidated ServiceInvoice/Statement (811 transaction set) and the Payment Order/Remittance Advice (820transaction set).Standards are evolving, and as of late 1993, several versions of the ANSI X12 standards havebeen released. A list of the versions released and those supported by Ameritech are listed below.It is neither required nor anticipated that a company will change with every standard release.
