Introduction DECS does not charge Trading Partners for using the DECS Purchase to Payment (P2P) Service. Depending on the Trading Partner's chosen method of connecting to DECS, there may be charges for using connectivity channels provided by third parties. Currently there are three methods available for Trading partners to connect to DECS P2P:
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
- Connection via the Exostar trading exchange
- A direct connection using HTTPS
Further details of which can be found on the P2P Connectivity page.
Any charges to Trading Partners for connectivity channels to DECS are outside the control of DECS and must be agreed directly between the Trading Partner and the connectivity service provider.
Please note that Capgemini will work with you to establish your INITIAL connection to DECS as part of our contractual arrangements with the MOD. If , after you have been made “DECS Ready”, you subsequently decide to change your connectivity method, or make changes to your internal systems that impact the messages passing to/from DECS, assistance or testing to re-affirm connectivity will not be covered by any existing commercial arrangement so may result in additional charges to you
