You are now able to add an EDI file from your new Provider.

Note: When setting up EDI Billing for Water, Sigma will look for both Water and Sewerage commodities. When matching an Account, Sigma will firstly look for a Water Account and if doesn't find one, it will then check for a Sewerage Account. The Water and Sewerage Accounts would need to have different Account numbers.
