The EDI interface is used to connect an EDI subsystem to the SAP system. EDI subsystems perform all EDI-related tasks such as Converting the data Handling messages or interchanges Communications Managing the partner profiles Monitoring processing. The EDI interface is based on IDoc technology. IDoc technology is independent of EDI standards. All data is exchanged via files between the SAP System and the EDI subsystem. The synchronous RFC (remote function call) is used to define the time of transfer of the files between both systems. Via the EDI interface, the following data can be exchanged:

Outbound IDocs. IDocs are transferred from the SAP System to the EDI subsystem.

Inbound IDocs. IDocs are transferred from the EDI subsystem to the SAP System.

Status report. To inform the SAP System of the progress of processing of the outbound IDocs, the EDI subsystem transfers the status report to the SAP System.

The object of the certification is the technical test of the interface between SAP System and EDI subsystem. The transfer of outbound IDocs, inbound IDocs and the status report are tested. The test is performed for the EDI standard UN/EDIFACT. As an example, the messages used are:

Outgoing order (ORDERS)

Incoming order (ORDERS)

Outgoing order response (ORDRSP) and

Incoming order response (ORDRSP).

Hi Mohammed,

EDI Full form is Electronic Data Interchange,It is one type technology we use to distribute the data between two Systems

EDI will be used when we need to send the data from SAP system to Non SAP system or Non SAP system to SAP system

The Data will be formated in IDOC

Ex. 1.The company wants to send the message to their Customer reg Delivery details we can send that through EDI

2. Customer wants to place the requirment details to the company, he can send that through EDI

Regarding EDI Configuration I doesn't have Idea

I hope it will help you

Regards,

Murali.

EDI(Electronic data interchange)

An inter-company, application-to-application communication of data in standard format for business transactions. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of standards for structuring information that is to be electronically exchanged between and within businesses, organizations, government entities and other groups. The standards describe structures that emulate documents, for example purchase orders to automate purchasing. The term EDI is also used to refer to the implementation and operation of systems and processes for creating, transmitting, and receiving EDI documents.
