A good example of how electronic data interchange in eCommerce comes to play is in the creation of purchase orders or invoices.
You only need to prepare the files and convert them into EDI format before releasing them to their recipient. To convert, you must use electronic data interchange software. Before transmitting the documents, however, you must decide how you will link to your partner which can either be directly using AS2, seeking the services of an EDI Network Provider, or both.
Yes. EDI streamlines and optimizes the sending and receiving of files, doing away with other inefficient methods such as fax, and mail. It is a viable option for businesses looking to improve business cycle speeds.
A widely known electronic data interchange example includes purchase orders. Others that organizations use are payment confirmations, invoices, and inventories.
For a successful EDI integration, you need to set up your infrastructure that includes EDI software for mapping, translating, and communicating. You also need a connection to VAN’S and all the necessary hardware. From there, you need to establish a technical link with the other business for ease of transmission. Then, you want to confirm that you are compliant with the stipulated standards.
