Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of standards for structuring information that is to be electronically exchanged between and within businesses, organizations, government entities and other groups. The standards describe structures that emulate documents, for example purchase orders to automate purchasing. The term EDI is also used to refer to the implementation and operation of systems and processes for creating, transmitting, and receiving EDI documents.

EDI is a 3 digits number....The real time used documents are;

850 - Purchase Order

856 - ASN Advanced shipment notice or delivery

810 - Invoice.

855 - Pruchase order acknowledgement

997 - Functional Acknowledgement

864 - Text message.

These are Real time documents go through the explanation this:

There are four major sets of EDI standards:
