Hi

EDI or Electronic Data Interchange as its called is an application to application transfer of business documents between computers. For this transfer of files to happen, it requires that the sender and receiver agree upon a standard document format for the document that is to be transmitted.

EDI is a new way of doing business. EDI provides a new, fast, inexpensive, and safe method of sending purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices and other frequently used business documents.The EDI documents are transferred very quickly, thus saving a lot of time.

Since EDI has a lot of advantages, it is being widely used.

How is it used?

For example: a customer sends their PO through EDI may be via a VAN which will be received by the Seeburger Adapter and it will do all the classifying,conversions etc. this will mapped to an idoc and sent to the R/3 system.

similarly an invoice may be sent to the customer via EDI.

Hope this helps

Thanks
