tradefast Service to your business please consult with your eircom net representative.

this service.

• Volume of invoices per month?

Musgrave Cash & Carry Central Billing (Day To Day)

If you have a relationship with Musgrave Cash & Carry Central Billing (Day To Day), EDI tradefast is not 
currently enabled for this business area. Traditional EDI is the appropriate solution and you should discuss 
this with your eircom net representative.

Volume of Invoice and product lines

If the number of product lines on the invoice exceeds 100, then EDI tradefast is not an appropriate solution 
for you. Traditional EDI is the appropriate solution and you should discuss this with your eircom net 
representative.

If the total number of product lines you have listed with Musgrave Group exceeds 100, but the total number 
on any single invoice is less than 100, then Tradefast with the CSV file output will work. Please contact your 
eircom net representative and request a copy of the CSV file layout.

Unless you have in-house file output experience, then you will incur an additional cost as you will need to 
produce a CSV file for the invoice or credit note you wish to transmit to Musgrave. 

Currently the CSV files function will only allow the import of one (1) invoice / credit note at a time, and cannot 
import a batch of several invoices / credit notes. However it is planned to have the service up-dated to support 
the batch transmission of invoice by the end of 2005.
