What is EDI?

EDI is the secure, automated exchange of electronic documents, such as purchase orders, invoices and delivery notes, between businesses or trading partners using a standardized format that allows different computer systems to communicate with each other.

What is an EDI document?

EDI documents, transactions, and files refer to the EDI messages that are exchanged between trading partners. Daily business workflows require the exchange of documents like invoices, purchase orders, and shipping forms.

Commonly used EDI transactions include 810 Invoice, 846 Inventory Advice, 850 Purchase Order, 855 PO Acknowledgement, and 856 ASN (Advance Ship Notice).
