In brief, the process of EDI Integration is as follows:
Export: Senders export electronic business documents like purchase orders from their systems
Transformation: Documents are converted into standard electronic formats using EDI
Validation: EDI conversion software ensures document accuracy according to agreed-upon standards
Transmission: Data is securely sent to middleware via SFTP, HTTP, or AS2protocols. It can be integrated into validation software, other applications, or sent directly to clients.
Reception: Upon receipt, the receiving party verifies credentials, authenticates, decrypts the file, and sends a message disposition notice (MDN) for acknowledgment
