EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange and is the process of sending and receiving electronic business documents between companies. Purchase orders, invoices, advance shipment notifications, product data activity reports, and acknowledgments are just a few examples of the documents that may be exchanged.
Many companies require their trading partners to use EDI to improve accuracy and efficiency.
EDI documents are based on official standards, but can be customized to individual companies' needs.
A trading partner is a business partner that exchanges documents with your company such as purchase orders or invoices.
Every company has unique requirements for EDI. C2G requires a minimum of the 850 purchase order and the 810 invoice. Specifications are available from C2G, however the trading partner can provide their own specifications.
The trading partner should have EDI mapping and translation software, and be able to set up connectivity using FTP, AS2 or a VAN. After the data mapping has been completed, the documents will be tested and approved by both companies.
