EDIFACT Wizard screen allows you to define your EDIFACT message format according to your own file format.

United Nations / Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) is the international EDI standard developed under the United Nations impulse. This standard is maintained and further developed by a UN body. EDIFACT has now been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the ISO standard ISO 9735.

The EDIFACT standard provides a set of syntax rules to structure data, an interactive exchange protocol (I-EDI), and standard messages which allow multi-country and multi-industry exchange.

As Babelway supports all EDI transaction sets of the EDIFACT standard, you can use any of them in your own gateway setup.

To define a message in EDIFACT format, select an existing template or make a copy of the generic EDIFACT template in the catalogue and following screen will be displayed.
