5. TAP Creation Backend Report (sent via EDI)

Upon completion of the TAP creation process, a TAP creation report is created and can be delivered to client via
the EDI link between MACH and the client or by e-mail.

The report guarantees transparency in the TAP creation process which is required by the client‟s revenue
assurance departments. In the report the following can be found:

1. Which switch file content goes into which TAP file. This is a many to many
relationship – overall transparency against the client is assured
2. The statistics for received switch files (including any erroneous CDR). The statistics
are intended to be utilized/processed by an application on the client side to compare
the figures against the files that have been sent to MACH
3. The statistics for the created TAP files directly after creation. Note that information
regarding the TAP files will be found in many standard MACH SMART/COM reports.

The report includes call dates, rating information, exchange rates, record types, durations, volumes and roaming
partner information.

The report file follows csv format, i.e. the fields within the file shall be separated by the semicolon “;” character.
The report is kept in that form to allow clients comfortable viewing of the report with Excel, as well as easy
processing by client applications.

Sample report
