EDI or Electronic Data Interchange automates and streamlines B2B communication by exchanging information electronically in a standardized format. Celigo’s EDI solutions streamline the exchange of business documents with trading partners. Celigo supports the EDI X12 file type format. For X12 format validation, the compliance check must adhere to X12 Org standards. Each trading partner may also have specific requirements for processing the EDI data rules.
Using integrator io, you can create a custom integration, while secure with EDI capabilities between your applications and trading partners. You can establish the connectivity with outsourced integration such as Value-added network (VAN). Celigo uses VAN service through ECGrid, which can be configured in integrator.io for inbound and outbound EDI flows.
An inbound EDI data processes the delimited EDI data received from an application based on the import configuration. The integrator.io parses and validates the delimited EDI and converts it to an EDI JSON format based on the file definition rules. The EDI JSON data is converted to a document-specific canonical JSON format using Transformation 2.0. The resulting output is passed onto the destination flow bubble.
An outbound EDI data processes the ERP data received from an application based on the export configuration. The ERP data is converted from a canonical format to EDI JSON using the mapping rules defined in the export and sent to the import. The file definition rules convert the EDI JSON to delimited EDI with appropriate validations.
Integrator.io provides a built-in EDI parser and file generator to translate EDI documents into supportive file formats. The parser converts EDI information into data that can be mapped to a corresponding record type. For more information, see Parsing and generation.
To successfully exchange EDI data with trading partners, you must ensure that the data complies with EDI standards and the specific guidelines each trading partner sets. Verifying that all mandatory and optional segments/elements are populated correctly by processing the EDI data according to the file definition compliance rules is important. Finally, the EDI document must be validated against its EDI standards before it’s sent to the destination. For more information, see Understand EDI profiles.
To streamline EDI data processing, centralizing the trading partner configurations with the EDI profiles component, avoiding scattered configurations across flows, file definition rules, and mappings. This centralized approach reduces configuration time, minimizes errors, and offers a global view of EDI-related validations and values at the header level, allowing easy updates for specific trading partner configurations. For more information, see EDI validation rules.
A functional acknowledgement is a receipt issued by the receiver in response to a transaction sent by a trading partner. This receipt provides the sender (trading partner) with confirmation that their transaction, sent via integrator.io, has been received. The main purpose of the functional acknowledgement (EDI transaction 997) is to reliably confirm the integrity and successful delivery of EDI transactions between trading partners. For more information, see Functional acknowledgements.
The account-level dashboard provides an overview of your EDI-specific integration activities, allowing you to view and manage data centrally. The EDI activity tab on the Dashboard offers access to detailed information on all EDI flows and documents across various tiles. For more information, see Understand the Dashboard - EDI activity.
