Edifact
What is Edifact?
EDIFACT stands for Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport. It is a widely accepted international EDI standard used by many organizations.
EDIFACT defines the syntax to structure data for over 200 business documents (like invoices, orders, despatch notes, etc. ) such that they can be exchanged unambiguously between 2 between partners.
In practice, a single organization would typically handle 2 to 8 business document types.
Example EDIFACT EDI purchase order
As you can probably guess immediately, EDIFACT needs a bit of practice to be manipulated comfortably. But with the right tools, you can begin to break down the structure of the file and understand that data that is stored.
