An EDI trading partner represents the organization you exchange EDI documents with, along with the connection details and document configurations required for that exchange. While many EDI solutions provide prebuilt connections to trading partners, integrating them with your ERP often requires additional tools or vendors. Celigo simplifies this process by enabling you to configure and manage your EDI trading partner connections within a unified integration platform. This article explains how to set up an EDI Trading Partner connection in integrator.io.
Set up an EDI connection
After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required* authentication settings:
-
Select the appropriate connection in the EDI trading partners list.
- In the Create connection panel, select the Protocol type based on the connection protocol you want to use to communicate with your trading partner, AS2 or FTP.
- Select the Region based on the business region in which you or your trading partner operates. The selected region is leveraged to configure appropriate EDI profiles and file definitions for downstream flow steps.
Note
Your selections determine the subsequent configuration steps. For instructions on configuring the EDI trading partner based on whether you've chosen AS2 or FTP connection protocols, see:
