EDI in 3 steps
- You place a file, such as a packing slip or invoice, from your system. The file can have various extensions, such as xml, txt or csv.

- The EDI platform transforms the file to the correct EDI format and sends it to your clients.
Examples of EDI formatted messages are DESADV (dispatch advice message) and INVOIC (invoice).

The other way around works the same. The connector will receive the file, such as an ORDER message, from the EDI platform and places it on a server.
The file will be formatted so that it can be read directly into your systems.
