BAF

Billing AMA file management.

The Billing AMA Format (BAF) is commonly used by ILECs, while some other carriers use an ASCII AMA Format (ACDR) or an XML AMA Format (XCDR) for their billing systems.

Mediation is the process of collecting and processing usage data from multiple devices, usually for telecom-related billing purposes. TimelyBill's AMA file processing component provides telecom providers the ability to mediate switch files without having to license a third party mediation engine.
