WHAT IS EDI? IT SOUNDS SIMPLE EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is defined as the structured transmission of data between organizations by electronic means It is used to transfer electronic business documents such as Purchase Orders, Invoices, Advance Shipping Notices (ASNs), and many more from one computer system to another, ie from one trading partner to another trading partner RETAILER RETAILER
LET S START AT THE BASICS EDI is not an out of the box solution Whether your organization is implementing EDI on your own terms to introduce best business practice or you are implementing EDI to meet a Trading Partners requirement's, the following must be considered: EDI Standards (X12, EDIFACT, XML ) EDI Communication Protocols (VAN, AS2, FTP ) Integration with QuickBooks Online Protocols
EDI STANDARDS ANSI X12 Developed by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1979 Most popular EDI transaction set in North America Transaction sets given numeric values, eg PO = 850, Invoice = 810 etc Multiple standards within X12, 4010, 4030, 5010 etc EDIFACT Developed by the United Nations (UN) in 1986 Most popular EDI transaction set outside of N America Mostly used in Europe &Far East Transaction sets given names PO = ORDERS, Invoice = INVOIC, etc Multiple standards within EDIFACT Most popular current standard is D96A Tradacoms Developed by the United Kingdom Retail Sector in 1982 Had been most popular EDI Transaction Set in UK but is now being over taken by EDIFACT Still used today by UK retailers but is slowly being phased out and replaced by EDIFACT subset Eancom
POPULAR EDI COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS VAN: The VAN (value-added network) is simply a secure network where EDI documents can be exchanged between a business and its trading partners An organization will be provided with a mailbox Documents are sent and received from there and the organization checks the mailbox periodically to retrieve its documents AS2: Applicability Statement 2 is a specification about how to transport data securely and reliably over the Internet Security is achieved by using digital certificates and encryption AS2 is one of the most popular methods for transporting data, especially EDI data over the Internet FTP: File Transfer Protocol is the commonly used protocol for exchanging files over the Internet FTP by itself does not provide the security needed for document exchange with other companies over the Internet More secure options sftp or FTPS may be preferred
