| What is EDI?
-
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange.
-
EDI is the computer to computer exchange of structured information, by agreed standards, from one computer application to another by electronic means, with minimum human intervention.
-
EDI in other terms is understood to mean the specific interchange methods agreed upon by national or international standards bodies for the transfer of business transactions.
-
Two major sets of EDI standards exist. UN/EDIFACT is the only international standard and is predominant in all areas outside of North America. ANSI ASC X12 or (X12) is more popular in North America and is also used worldwide.
-
The standards define the formats, character sets, and data elements used in the exchange of documents and forms, such as purchase orders (called "ORDERS" in UN/EDIFACT and an "850" in (X12).
