What is EDI?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange, is the transfer of structured data between computer systems by means of a standard message, transmitted electronically 1. Also known as paperless exchange22.
The three main components of EDI are: Data mapping, Network and Support.
Data Mapping
Data mapping is a simple but quite critical process, since it involves the transfer of information between an EDI standard and a particular data format that can be processed by an ERP or a particular accounting system.
There are various data standards, such as:
- ASC X12
- EDIFACT
- XML
- Among others
By means of these standards you can send and receive any type of document, the most used being:
- Purchase Order
- Invoices
- Order Planning
- Shipping Notice
- Receiving Advice
- Among others
Network
Once the trading partners have agreed on the formats they will work with, they need a network that is efficient and at the same time reliable to carry out their operations.
Tredicom offer conectivty through:
- FTP
- SFTP
- FTPS
- AS2
- WB - Web Service
Support
Finally, a support system is necessary, both for the data transmission network and for the logic of the transactions, for example, when the information in a message changes and its respective mapping must be refactored.
In TREDICOM we carry out all the necessary processes for you to create your EDI transactions in a reliable and secure way.
