    General description:
  • Paris was designed to support the reconciliation process leading to invoicing and payment
           - It uses EDI data in a smart way to determine which receptacles are payable
           - It processes a large amount of data in an automated way to reduce the workload of involved staff
           - It calculates Assurance Level Assessment (ALAs)
                     A numerical rating describing the depth and rigor of an evaluation is assigned to each receptacle. Each ALA level corresponds to                     Auto-Processing rules which cover the CARDIT, RESDIT, MRD POD/RESCON/RESDES combinations, with a given level of strictness.
  • Objective of the session:
  • Create and Approve ALA (= settlement rules) agreements between Post and Carriers
  • Create Immediate and scheduled Settlement requests
  • View and approve settlements records
  • Export settlement records functionality
  • Users made aware of email functionality
  • Main benefits:
  • It uses the available EDI data to determine which receptacles are payable
  • It doesn’t require any setup of existing systems, and can be embedded in existing reconciliation processes that contains a complete set of data from all relevant EDI exchanges
  • Easy to use, with a simple intuitive interface
  • It can be interfaced with external invoicing management systems
  • It is scalable, and can be used with 1 or 100 partners, allowing for added value to be obtained from day 1
  • Target audiences:
  • Finance and operation teams of Posts and Carriers
