Introduction
This document defines the Six Degrees Group specification for the supply of billing data to our
resellers.
The specification covers outbound and inbound call detail records (CDRs) and also recurring and
fixed service charges (EDRs). The specification was developed based on Federation of
Communication Services' recommendations.

from Fixed Line and VOIP services.
Click the link below for the table that describes the content and format of each field shown above
6DG Outbound File
Format v2.xlsx
File naming convention
The file will be named in the following way:
Monthly_Outbound_AAAAAA_DDMMYYYY_SSSSSS_CCCCCC_VV.txt
Or
Daily_Outbound_AAAAAA_DDMMYYYY_SSSSSS_CCCCCC_VV.txt
Where monthly, DDMMYYYY represents the billing period date (last day of the month in which the
calls were made). Where daily, DDMMYYYY represents the day on which the calls were made.
“Outbound” = this denotes that the file can contains only data for outbound call types
AAAAAA = an account reference Six Degrees Group uses to denote the receiver of the CDR i.e. the
reseller. (No limit on number of digits i.e. size of number).
SSSSSS = sequence number (no limit on number of digits i.e. size of number). Every file produced
for a particular customer (regardless of type), will have a sequence number increasing by 1 as each
subsequent file is produced.
CCCCC = record count (no limit on number of digits i.e. size of number)
VV = the version of the standard that has been used. This should be set to “V1”
