What is Electronic Data Interchange? ... Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) replaces the routine paper-based information exchange by means of electronic communications. ... 1
EDI Defined
“Electronic Data Interchange is the movement of business data electronically between or within firms (including their agents or intermediaries) in a structured, computer-processable data format that permits data to be transferred without rekeying from a computer-supported business application in one location to a computer-supported business application in another location.”2 Simply stated it is the computer-to-computer exchange of electronic documents using a standardized format. ... The sender uses their internal business application software to create the data needed for the transaction. ... A “map” is created that overlays the business application file and picks up only the data required for EDI transmission. ... The data file becomes the input to an EDI translation module that converts the file into the standardized X12 format.
