1. EDI Subsystem is not the only way to translate EDI message into IDOC, these subsystems are typically very costly. When you are not using heavy duty EDI processing, you can even use ABAP to translate EDI message. This turns out to be more cost effective for low volume.
2. I don't see any value in uploading this information into a Z-Table. If it is an EDI message, chances are there must be a way to post this information into SAP which can be used for adding value to the process.
3. You must pay attention to the naming convention of the files, as you will need to make sure that you are not processing the same message again. Also it is a good practice save the files into another directory (archive directory).
4. You can ask your EDI partner to trigger an event in SAP (You can give them a batch file which runs program sapevt to do that). It helps if you want real time interface, but scheduled job as you are thinking will also do the job.
