Can XI handle EDI out-of-the-box?

Can XI parse EDI files out-of-the-box? If not, why not? What is it missing in order to do so? Your responses are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi,

it cannot

you need to use either itemfield conversion agent or seeburgers EDI adapter

Hi,

No, Xi understands only XML , not EDI format, to make the edi to XI understandable format , you need to use converion tools like CM studio or EDI mapper tools like BIC etc,.also CA-conversion agent..

if you use the Seeburger conversion tools then you need to use respective adapter to communicate with XI-IS.

i hope is clear. to know more about EDI and seeburger see the below links
