Hi Phani,

Check this info.

<b>Electronic Data Interchange</b>

Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.

Hope this resolves your query.

Reward all the helpful answers.

can u tell me one scenario of it?

[Former Member]

Hi Phani,

Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..

Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.

<b>What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?</b>

Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.

<b>How does EDI get started?</b>

EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.

<b>What is the flow of EDI?</b>

The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.

This is the flow, if you have satisfied then dont forget to award points.

Thanks and regadrs

Hi Phani,

I think this will help you for scenarios:

In the most common EDI scenario, the EDI cycle begins when the purchaser sends the supplier an EDI purchase order. The supplier returns a purchase order acknowledgment to the purchaser. Next, at shipping time, the supplier sends the purchaser an EDI advance shipping notice. An EDI invoice follows and, finally, the purchaser sends payment information to his bank and the funds are transferred electronically to the supplier's bank account through electronic fund transfer (EFT) or financial EDI. The EDI cycle is now complete.

There are other uses for EDI:

universities use EDI to exchange transcripts quickly

manufacturers use EDI to transmit complex engineering designs

consumers use EDI for credit card and banking transactions

governments are beginning to use EDI to support the electronic filing of income tax returns.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

The steps are:

choose the IDOC Type, Message Type and Process code for this PO transfer

and assign them.

1.Define Port using WE21 T code

2.Define Partner profile using WE2o Tcode and give all outbound paramters like Message type, Idoc type and port etc.

create the document and check for the IDOc creation.

Check the other Tcodes:

We30,we81, we82,sm59,bd51,we41,we57 etc.

Hi

Best thing to do will be to browse thro the sdn forum for this topic. EDI is a topic which has been discussed several times and some very good documentation is also available in the forums.
