What is EDI?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is easy to understand. EDI replaces the paper documents with electronic documents. EDI integrates communication technologies and specific software for the transparent electronic exchange of business documents (e.g. orders, delivery notes, invoices, etc.).

globalerp can process various file formats (XML, EDIFACT, IDoc, TRADACOMS, ODETTE, VDA) and supports the creation of document specifications. The routing functionality enables numerous documents to be sent to several addressees at the same time.

How Does EDI Work?

EDI is a computer to computer exchange of standard business documents in an electronic format. The exchange of documents takes place in a standardized format. The data from your partner’s ERP system can be called up using EDI, sent in seconds, and further processed in the recipient’s system.

EDI Message Standards

The international standards for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) are EDIFACT and XML. Other formats are used depending on the industry and region, namely:

  • CSV-Format
  • ASCII-Fix-Rekord
  • EDIFACT
  • ODETTE
  • VDA
  • BMECat
  • ANSI X.12
  • Tec Invoic

Every EDIFACT message is identified with a uniform and unique six-digit abbreviation. For example, the most common of these references are:

DELFOR Delivery schedule
DESADV Despatch advise
ORDERS Purchase order
INVOIC Invoice
ORDRSP Purchase order response
IFTMIN Instructions of transport
