1. Welcome

Welcome to BT OneBillPlus.

OneBillPlus is a service, which consolidates individual telephony services, (known as source or local invoices), UK-wide from BT’s billing systems. Once a billing

frequency is agreed with you a single bill is produced which combines source invoice billing data raised at that date.

However, this guide is all about the billing record data generated from our systems, covering your billing usage and available for you to use as management information. BT

has developed the facility to provide the relevant OneBillPlus source invoice data on Read-Only Compact Disk (CD).

We provide a CDROM disk copy of the guide and you are welcome to copy this on to your hard disk for your own private use, provided you do not modify the guide in any way

2. Introduction

This guide provides a definition of the format of OneBillPlus data, sent via CD-ROM. BT OneBillPlus customers who have elected to receive their bill data via CD-ROM in

addition to Paper invoices should use it.

The OneBillPlus service has been enhanced to provide files on CD-ROM for you to input to your own systems enabling the analysis of your BT charges and usage.

This document has been produced for technical personnel to assist in utilising the information held on the data files. It gives an overview of the contents of each file, the

format in which the file is copied to the CD-ROM, and a detailed file layout with a technical description of each field and record on the file.

3. What is Delivered?

The OneBillPlus service produces various data files, which may be interrogated by your own software to provide a detailed analysis of the BT telephony services you use and

the costs of those services.

The data is held in a Comma Delimited Format. This information can be read into most PC spreadsheet and database packages but if your files hold a high volume of data we

recommend that you import them using an industry standard database package.

4. How is it delivered?

The data files are supplied on CD-ROM.

5. Technical Prerequisites

To use the CD-ROM you must have an IBM compatible Personal Computer that has the ability to read Compact Disk.

6. Technical Data

The files written to CD-ROM will have the following parameters: -

Example -

File name XXXXF3YY.ZZ

FORMAT Fixed field comma delimited.

Where: XXXX is the last four digits of your OneBillPlus account number.

YY is the last two digits of the invoice number.

ZZ is the identifier relating to the location of the BT office responsible for the OneBillPlus account.

The file will be versioned as follows:

OneBillPlus Telephony details – R009.01

The version number has two parts, a major number (either Mnnn or Rnnn) and a minor number (nn).

The Minor number is incremented when there is no change to the data structure; i.e. typically operational fixes like a field should be spaces and not nulls, wrong decimal

point etc.

The Major number is incremented when there are data structure changes, i.e. new fields appended to an existing record, new record types introduced, etc.

7. Contact Point for Queries

Any queries regarding the use of the CD-ROM product, e.g., non-receipt, corruption of data, general usage queries, should be directed to your BT contact number detailed on

your paper invoice.

8. Notes

The following notes will be of use when interpreting the data held on the disk: -

8.1 The file is of comma separated format. i.e.:

• Fields are of fixed length.

• Fields are delimited by a comma.

• Trailing empty field delimiters, ( e.g. commas ), will be suppressed, i.e. the last character of the last field to contain data will be the last character in the record.

• The file, when written to the CDROM, will be ASCII encoded, records terminated by CR/LF (PC DOS format).

• Fields, which are numeric monetary values, are in pounds and pence to either 2 or 3 decimal places e.g.££££££££.ppp

• All currency fields will have a leading sign.

• Where a currency field is less than 1.00, there will be a leading ‘0’ before the decimal place. (i.e. 0.12 NOT .12).

• The size of each field given in the record description is exclusive of commas and text delimiters and indicates the MAXIMUM size.

• All date fields have the format yyyy/mm/dd.

Note: Decimal places are explicitly present in all numerical fields. For example + 00000012.34. All monetary fields are preceded with a ‘+’ or ‘-’ sign.

8.2 The dataname ‘LINE-NO’ can be interpreted in two ways depending upon the line set-up at your site:-

• An ‘auxiliary’ line is an actual telephone number in its own right. e.g. 12345 or 123456 or 1234567 or 12345678.

• A ‘suffix’ line is an extension number. e.g. /0001 or 12345/0001 or 123456/0001 or 1234567/0001 or 123456780001. Note that when an 8 digit local

number is combined with a suffix number there is insufficient room in the field to include the ‘/’ to separate the two. Thus if LINE-NO contains 12 digits

the first 8 are the local number and the last 4 are the suffix.

8.3 In the CD-ROM OneBillPlus Telephony details file, the dataname ‘RECORD-CLASS’ is assigned a data type of one of the following:-

• I = Bill header

• S = Summary data

• B = Breakdown data

• H = Hidden data

• G = At-a-glance data

• T = Bill trailer

8.4 In the CD-ROM OneBillPlus Telephony details file, the data name ‘CHARGE-BAND’ will have one of the following data types assigned :-

L = Local

N = National

I = International

T = Trunk

X = Operator raised credit (Record Type 570)

X = Local Data Call (Record Type 680)

Y = National Data Call

Z = International Data Call

O = Other

Spaces = No meaningful value could be placed or the record is a continuation record with no charge associated with it.

8.5 In the CD-ROM OneBillPlus Telephony details file, if Zero appears in the dataname ‘CALL DURATION’ then it should be identified as a SMS call.

The date fields on record types 805, 815, 825 and 826 can have value zero in two scenarios.

If the invoice was loaded before the new discount platform was implemented, the date fields will be populated with zero.

If the dates are spanned outside the bill period i.e. if the product does not change within the bill period, the product effective dates are set to zero. If the product becomes

effective within the billing period and remains effective till the end of it, the begin effective date will have the date when the product became effective, but the end date

will have zero. If the product which was effective before the billing period started, ceases to be effective within the billing period, the begin date will have zero while the

end date will have the date when the product ceased to be effective.
