Hi OmkarSAP,

EDI which stands for Electronic Data Interchange is the computer-to-computer

communication of business documents between companies in a standard format.

It is a paperless way to send and receive Purchase Orders, Invoices, etc. EDI

replaces human-readable documents with electronically coded documents. The

sending computer creates the document and the receiving computer interprets the

document. Implementation of EDI streamlines the process of exchanging standard

business transactions. Companies save by eliminating people cost as well as the

cost due to errors and double entry of data. The transmissions are accomplished by

connecting to a mailbox via a modem or the internet.

Omkar:

Check out the book I just published with SAP Press, "Architecting EDI with SAP IDocs". It provides a pretty comprehensive introduction to EDI in SAP. It also provides a detailed blueprint for implementing EDI for the order to cash cycle in an imaginary Hollywood movie studio, with functional and technical specs for each interface in the cycle. The book can be ordered from Amazon.com or from SAP Press at:

I write a regular blog on SAP and EDI at IT Toolbox and will probably begin doing the same on SDN. There's a lot of basic information there. The blog is at:

There's a lot of information on the web about EDI. Google Electronic Data Interchange. There's also quite a bit on SDN and in SAP Help. Good luck.
