EDI (Electronic Data Interchange


EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a yardstick format for interchanging enterprise data. The yardstick is ANSI X12 and it was deduced by the Data Interchange Standards Association. ANSI X12 is either intimately coordinated with or is beingjoined with an global yardstick, EDIFACT.
An EDI communication encompasses a string of data elements, each of which exemplifies a singular item, for instance acharge, wares type number, and so ahead, split by delimiter. The every part of string is called a data segment. One or morewritten knowledge segments surrounded by a header and trailer configuration a transaction set, which is the EDI unit of transmission (equivalent to a message). A transaction set often contains of what would commonly be encompassed in anormal enterprise written material or form. The parties who exchange EDI transmissions are cited to as trading partners.
EDI communications can be encrypted. EDI is one configuration of e-commerce, which in addition includes e-mail and fax.
