hi,

Electronic Data Interchange

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.

EDI FLOW :

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.

What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?

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.

How does EDI get started?

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.

What is the flow of EDI?

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.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has been in wide use in industry since the 1970s. Only recently, however, has it become feasible to share business documents electronically over the Internet using EDI.

WHY EDI COMES IN TO EXISTENCE:

In today's business environment, organizations are gathering more data than ever before through internet. Through the use of networks, companies are constantly exchanging information within their own business branches as well with their related businesses. this exchange of information must always be secure and be transmitted efficiently. EDI accomplishes both of these requirements. EDI standards define only the format of the data, and with some industry exceptions, do not specify the means by which the data is communicated between trading partners.

VAN communication

Using a value added network (VAN) for the transmission of files is traditionally seen as the

most secure way of communication. Apart from doing pure communication, a VAN also

provides value adds such as:

_ Built-in security features that help protect against unauthorized access to customer data

_ Restart and recovery facilities that help to reduce or eliminate the impact of

communications interruptions

_ Archive capability for the online retention of data copies

_ 24x7 availability

_ Notification of message arrivals that meet predefined criteria, such as a message from a

specific trading partner

Transaction Set

A transaction set is one electronic document

Segment

A segment is a line of data in a standard EDI transaction

Element

An element is the smallest item of information in an EDI transaction

Advantages:

The main advantage of EDI is that it reduces costs and improves efficiency in organizations that adopt it. It does by creating an error-free flow of routine documents between a company and its "trading partners".

Value Added Networks (VANs) provide networking services between trading partners

who send and receive EDI documents.

Standards:

1.ANSX12

2.EDIFACT

ANSI - (American National Standards Institute) - widely used in North American - also called X.12.

UN/EDIFACT - (EDI for Administration, Commerce and Transport) - used primarily in

Europe and Japan, and is managed by the United Nations.

UCS - developed within grocery industry in early 80s.

TDCC: Transportation Data Coordinating Committee, which worked from 1968 to 1975 to develop a series of EDI standards documents for Air, rail, truck and ocean.

ASC X12 ENVELPOES

NESTING STRUCTURE OF EDI ENVELOPES

The diagram shows the nesting structure of EDI envelopes. There may be any number of transaction (message) envelopes in a group, however the transactions must all have the same group ID. This generally means that all transactions in a group are the same

transaction set. Any number of groups could be enclosed in an interchange as long as all those groups of transactions are destined for one trading partner.

ISA: All X12 interchanges will begin with an ISA interchange control header and end with an IEA interchange control trailer. The three characters "ISA" are sometimes used to identify EDI X12 data for processing.

ISA Contains 16 elements & it contains 106 bytes

Example of ISA

IEA :Interchange control trailer

GS:Functional group header

In GS we have 8 elements & it contains 72 bytes

GE:Functional group trailer

ST :Transaction set header

SE:Transaction set trailer

Transactions r divided into 3 logical areas

. Header

. Details

. Summary

Header: In this we get the information of transaction

Eg : name, address, telephone no

Details: Here we get detail information of transaction

Summary: Here we get summary information of the order such as

Weight, total amt etc.

Loops:

Loops are groups of two or more related segments that repeat.

A Loop may contain another loop which is referred to as "nesting"

Loop types:

m Unbounded implicit loops

m Bounded explicit loops

m Hierarchical explicit nested loops

Unbounded implicit loops:

Unbounded implicit loops are named after the first segment in the loop.

The beginning segment in the loop determines whether or not the loop is mandatory or optional and it shall appear only once per loop

Nested unbounded loops must not start with the same segment ID. For example, a PO1 loop cannot contain another PO1 loop.

Bounded explicit loops:

Bounded explicit loops require an (LS) segment to appear before the start of the loop

and an (LE) segment to appear after the end of the loop

Hierarchial Loops:

The HL segment identifies dependencies of hierarchically related data

The HL segment identifies explicit nested loops within a transaction

HL segment is WITHIN Loop

The HL indicates parent-child relationships among occurrences

Hierarchical loops are not defined for the UN/EDIFACT standard

Conditional Designators:

M - Mandatory - If segment is used, this element must be present

O - Optional - Use is at the option of trading partners

X - Relational - Use is dependent upon the absence or presence of another element

X12 Data Element Types

A - Alphabetic

AN - Alphanumeric (string)

B - Binary

CD - Composite data element

CH - Character

DT - Date

FS - Fixed-length String (Deleted in X12 004010)

ID - Identifier (values defined in a code list)

IV - Incrementing Value

Nn - Numeric (n decimal positions assumed)

PW - Password

R - Decimal number (real - with decimal point and sign)

TM – Time

Mapping process:

For "inbound" translation ("receive" maps), EDI elements are moved to application data fields. For "outbound" translation ("send" maps), application data fields are moved to EDI elements.

Both files are typically sequential (flat) files.

EDIFACT ENVELOPES

Although the segment IDs (segment "tags" in EDIFACT) are different, the enveloping structure is identical.

The UNA segment shown is not an enveloping segment, but is a Service Segment that may be used to specify delimiter characters.

Examples for X12/EDIFACT

DIFFERENT SEGMENTS

Different components

SIMILAR SEGMENT NAMES BETWEEN X12/EDIFACT

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN B2B & B2C

The differences between business-to-business and business-to-consumer e-commerce can be expressed by examining their respective definitions: Business-to-business e-commerce is the buying and selling of goods between companies whereas business-to-consumer e-commerce is the selling of product directly to consumers.

Besides the fact that business-to-business customers buy the same things at lower prices than business-to-consumer customers, there is really only one difference.

Business-to-business buyers are looking for a selection to fill a space or their customers' needs;

Business-to-consumer customers are looking for one item to fill a space or need.

Both buyers have a spot that they are trying to fill. That is why they are customers. When there is no space (either figuratively or literally) that needs to be filled either now or in the future, there are no customers.

E-COMMERCE: Electronic commerce is the most recent step in the evolution of business transactions. It replaces (or augments) the swapping of money or goods with the exchange of information from computer to computer.

Long before the Internet grew into a common business tool, e-commerce in transportation meant electronic data interchange. Using standard protocols, closed communications networks and computer systems, EDI helps carriers and shippers reduce or eliminate phone calls, faxes and paperwork.

WHY WE GO FOR XML?

With XML, it is finally recognized that the information published on a website is

usually more than text – it is data. Using a presentation-only markup language as

HTML, it is quite obvious that much of the structure and meaning of this data is lost. To

overcome this and other limitations, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) has

developed XML. The goal was to create a language that was easy to learn and use,

compatible with SGML, powerful enough to have a wide variety of applications

and legible to both humans and computers.

Adding up all these features, we can build the following definition:

XML (extensible Markup Language) is a meta-markup language defined by the

W3C, that provides a way to create extensible formats for describing structured

data in electronic documents and to express rules about those data.

Hi,

EDI ->

EDI is described as the interchange of structured data according to agreed message standards between computer systems, by electronic means. Structured data equates to a simple and direct method of presenting the data content of a document. The method of ensuring the correct interpretation of the information by the computer system is defined by the EDI standard."

EDI is a technique used to communicate business transactions between computer systems of different companies and organizations. Note that sometimes the EDI mechanism deployed at a company is often used to interface to other systems within the same organization."

Info shuttle - "I was implementing EDI at a customer and I wanted some real data to test with in Development, so I asked the Project Manager to see if he could arrange something. Literally, 20 minutes later he came back and said that there were 10 new orders in Development, together with the customer master records related to the order, the carrier vendor master record, the material master records, ... were all there. I asked him how he had done it so quickly which led me to my first exposure with Infoshuttle, a tool that does this for you using the ALE functionality. As an ALE consultant I know how to do this stuff but I also know how long it would take to set that up.
