EDI subsytems are Gentran,Tibco

EDI Subsystems

Cross Application - Electronic Data Interchange Interface (CA-EDI)

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a term used for the transfer of business messages

between two systems. There are many such messages, however, the most common are used to

support customers sending a purchase order message to a vendor, or vendors sending an

invoice message to a customer. In most cases, EDI replaces the transfer of paper copies of

these documents. There are many standards for these messages - in the United States, the

ANSI X.12 standard is most prevalent, in Europe, the UN/EDIFACT standard is used, or

industry-specific standards are used, for example, UCS in the grocery industry and

VDA/ODETTE in the automotive industry.

Built into R/3’s applications are interfaces to EDI messages. It is important to note that SAP

does not supply or sell EDI conversion/communication software (an EDI subsystem), but

provides an open, common interface to such systems (XA-EDI). EDI subsystems assume

responsibility for all EDI-oriented tasks:

Converting data

Message or interchange handling

Communication

Partner profile administration

Process monitoring

From the SAP side, the EDI interface is based on IDoc technology, which is independent of

EDI standards. All data is transferred in files between the R/3 System and the EDI subsystem.

Synchronous Remote Function Call (RFC) is implemented to define the time of transfer for a

file between the two systems. The following data can be transferred using the EDI interface:

Outbound IDocs

IDocs are transferred from the R/3 System to the EDI subsystem.

Inbound IDocs

IDocs are transferred from the EDI subsystem to the R/3 System.

Status report

The EDI subsystem sends a status report to the R/3 System on the progress of

the processing of the outbound IDoc

Certification of an EDI subsystem involves technical testing of the interface between the R/3

System and the EDI subsystem. The transfer of outbound IDocs, inbound IDocs and status

reports is tested.

The test is carried out using the UN/EDIFACT standard for EDI. The following messages may

be used:

Outbound purchase order (ORDERS)

Inbound order (ORDERS)

Outbound order confirmation (ORDRSP)

Inbound order acknowledgment

HI,

EDI is used to exchange business data b/w 2 partenrs which are 2 independent networks and 2 different systems which use different technology(Ex: SAP and AS 400,SAP and MAomframes etc)

SAP supports different message types for different transactions that are avaialble

SAP EDI

Ex: ORDERS 850

INVOIC 810

DESADV 856

DELFOR 830 etc

Reward if helpful
