How to use Billing Online Account Summary
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of data between entities using a standardized format. It is used for many data types including invoicing, shipping, receiving, tracking, remittance, and internal platform-to-platform file transfers.
For large companies with established accounts payable procedures, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) can help reduce paper, check-processing costs and keying errors.
At FedEx, we strive to provide customers with electronic solutions to increase accuracy and efficiency in their accounts payable process. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic exchange of data using a standardized format. FedEx offers several EDI formats to customers who want to integrate FedEx invoice data for parcel and freight services into their accounts payable procedures. The EDI team works with customers to complete the invoicing and remittance setup. Customers who receive EDI invoices must provide the following via EDI:
- Remittance data files that provide guidance to FedEx on how to apply payments, and
- Electronic invoice adjustment requests for parcel and air freight invoices
Required Information and Documentation
Before new EDI invoicing setup can be started, customers must provide:
A dedicated resource for implementation
A complete list of account numbers to add to EDI with associated locations; advise how EDI accounts should be group, if needed. Grouped accounts must have the same billing country/currency within each group
Proper documentation to protect confidentiality when a Freight Bill, Audit and Pay Providers is used
Documents that may be needed include:
- Authorization Agreement to be provided by Sales
- Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (MNDA) to be provided by Sales
- Non-Disclosure Agreement to be provided by Sales
- Letter of Authorization (LOA) to be provided by the customer
Freight Bill, Audit and Pay Providers
FedEx recommends the following criteria for customers seeking to use a Freight Bill, Audit and Pay Provider to audit their invoices, process payments and remit payment details, and manage disputes:
- To protect confidential data such as shipping patterns, contract agreements, contact information, commodity descriptions, and other information that is transmitted or that could be derived from a data breach, customers should require proof of cybersecurity insurance with a minimal annual coverage of $10 million by an A rated provider.
- Freight Bill, Audit and Pay Providers should demonstrate the three basic EDI processing capabilities, which are electronic invoicing, electronic invoice adjustment submission, and electronic payment remittance. These capabilities are collectively referred to as the “EDI round trip process”. The ability to support the EDI round trip process eliminates the handling of paper and increases accuracy and efficiency in the accounts receivable and payable processes.
- Freight Bill, Audit and Pay Providers should demonstrate the ability to identify and electronically process all types of revenue transportation files: freight, parcel, duty and tax, and past due demands.
FedEx Freight Bill, Audit, and Pay (FBAP) Providers Certification
Several Freight Bill, Audit, and Pay providers have earned placement in the FedEx FBAP certification program. This program recognizes Freight Bill, Audit, and Pay Providers that have consistently met or exceeded FedEx internal standards and analytics for receiving invoices electronically, processing, and remitting payment details, and managing disputes on behalf of customers. Although FedEx works with many Freight Bill, Audit, and Pay providers, the following providers have demonstrated their ability to effectively provide freight bill, audit, and payment services to their customers in accordance with FedEx standards, thereby earning recognition as a Certified FBAP Provider.
“Parcel, air freight and LTL freight” certification category
“Parcel & air freight only”
certification category
“LTL freight only” certification category
