Cardinal Health EDI FAQs
As an Cardinal Health supplier, you may have questions relating to EDI and your supply chain. Here are a few of the most common questions we receive from suppliers like you:
Integrated EDI connects to your ERP system, and translates outgoing data into compliant EDI formats. EDI transactions from your trading partners are received and transformed by the EDI solution into the correct ERP file format, and delivered to your ERP automatically. Learn more about EDI.
EDI compliance refers to a supplier’s ability to adhere to specific EDI mandates created by a trading partner. These EDI guidelines can cover what transactions are required, the data that must be included, and even the format of that data. Non-compliance can result in penalties such as chargebacks, so it is critical to choose an EDI solution that supports ongoing EDI compliance. Learn more about EDI compliance.
EDI transaction codes are standardized business document formats for key supply chain communications, like Purchase Orders, Advanced Shipping Notices, and Invoices. Each EDI transaction code correlates to a specific business document, and includes the data elements needed for that document. Learn more about EDI transaction codes.
