What is EDI?
Electronic commerce (EC) is the use of documents in electronic form, rather than paper, for carrying out functions of business or government that require interchange of information, obligations, or monetary value between organizations. Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer transmission of strictly formatted messages that represent documents; EDI is an essential component of EC.
Common EDI Terms and Definitions:
ANSI — American National Standards Institute: the organization set up to define, maintain, and coordinate standards in the United States. Data processing standards are supervised by committees which are named X followed by a number as an identifier; e.g., ASC X9 is the banking data encryption committee.
ASCII — American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard binary notation for numbers, letters, and control characters. ASCII is the basic communication method of computing.
direct link — Communication between two trading partners where the message is transmitted, usually through a modem, directly from one computer to the other computer.
EFT — Electronic funds transfer; the generic term for sending payment instructions over a computer network.
Electronic mailbox — A designated holding location for electronic messages. The mailbox can either be on the user’s computer or, as is more common, on a third party network (VAN).
Flat file — A data file in prescribed fixed-field format; e.g., ASCII or EBCDIC.
Interchange — An electronic exchange between two business partners. The interchange is indicated by an interchange control header and an interchange control trailer. It is comparable to an outer envelope in paper transmissions.
ISA — Interchange control header; identifies the beginning of an interchange of one or more functional groups and interchange-related control segments. ISO — International Standards Organization; an organization with the UN to which all national and other standards-setting bodies defer. Encompasses the Open System Interconnect (OSI) seven-layer model that enables all networks and computers to communicate freely.
Mapping — Is the process of taking data from a company-specific format and fitting it to the EDI standard format (transaction set). mapping software — Software that is designed to perform the mapping process.
NIST — U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Third party network — A service provider that serves as a clearinghouse. Will normally provide both mailbox and value added services such as translation of data from one format to another. Also known as a VAN. trading partner— Any company or organization with whom another company (or organization) is doing business. EDI links trading partners electronically.
Transaction set — In EDI standards, the name given to a complete trading document sent electronically. A transaction set is an EDI document. translation software — Software used to take data from a vendor-specific flat file and into an EDI standard format.
Value added network (VAN) — A third party network performing services beyond the transmission of data. For example, VANs provide translation, training, and encryption services.
