Hi Sen,

Any details available for EDI mapping?

Electronic Data Interchange:

Short for Electronic Data Interchange, the transfer of data between different companies using networks, such as the Internet. As more and more companies get connected to the Internet, EDI is becoming increasingly important as an easy mechanism for companies to buy, sell, and trade information. ANSI has approved a set of EDI standards known as the X12 standards. …“

Third party adapters are provided by Seeburger which is used to integrate EDI scenarios. Adapters are AS2,VAN,OFTPS,X400.

You need to purchase a license for the same.

The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.

Supported EDI formats include:

• ANSI

• EDIFACT

• INHOUSE

• IDOC

• XML Schema

• XML DTD

• CSV

• Delimited Data

• positional data

• SWIFT

• EANCOM

and many more.

See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

EDI adapters are:

1) AS2

2) OFTPS

3) VAN

4) X400

Follow the below steps:

1) First deploye the Std seeburger mapping provided by see burger on XI

2) If you are using the AS2 adapter then you have to install the AS2 server on XI server.

3) Once you install the std seeburger on SAP XI server you will see the AS2,X400,OFTPS,VAN adapter on XI ID.

5) You need to call the std mapping in the adapter module which does the conversion from EDI to XML and XML to EDI.

There are four major sets of EDI standards:

The UN-recommended UN/EDIFACT is the only international standard and is predominant outside of North America.

The US standard ANSI ASC X12 (X12) is predominant in North America.

The TRADACOMS standard developed by the ANA (Article Numbering Association) is predominant in the UK retail industry.

The ODETTE standard used within the European automotive industry
