SEKO EDI Transactions
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is electronic exchange of business documents such as orders, invoices, shipment status etc. These documents are transmitted between the business partners in the form of structured data (aka specification document)
What do we need from the client for EDI:
EDI Specification document
EDI Connection Type (AS2, VAN or SFTP)
A technical contact for testing, or answering questions related to the setup/document
The common EDI specification documents are provided in the below table for easy reference. SEKO EDI spec is provided in the last column, if available. We can use either our document or client document for integration. Development effort will reduce if SEKO specification document is used for the integration
