Frequently Asked Questions
What is EDI?
EDI serves as a standardized language for businesses to exchange various documents, such as orders and invoices, seamlessly across the supply chain with their partners. EDI is a uniform format that enables retailers to streamline and expedite the process of sharing documents and translating data with trading partners. Put simply, EDI is the universal method for transmitting documents from one business entity, such as a marketplace like Amazon, Costco, Walmart, and more, to another, like a brand such as Nike, Everlast, etc. Common examples of EDI documents include purchase orders, invoices, inventory updates, and shipping notifications. This data synchronization is crucial in both the retailer’s marketplace, such as Amazon or Home Depot, and within their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, like NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics 365. This is where the integration of EDI becomes essential.
What is EDI and ERP integration?
EDI to ERP integration involves connecting EDI with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, such as NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics, to facilitate the exchange of data between trading partners. This integration ensures that crucial business documents, like purchase orders and invoices, flow smoothly between the EDI system and the ERP system.
For example, in the case of NetSuite, EDI integration allows for the automatic transfer of sales orders received via EDI directly into NetSuite’s order management system, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. This automation reduces the likelihood of errors between the ERP system and external trading partners.
Leveraging iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) for EDI to ERP integration simplifies the integration process, reduces costs, and improves operational efficiency, while keeping the relationship and communications between trading partners seamless and without errors.
Why is EDI and ERP integration important?
Marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and Costco use EDI to exchange data because it ensures adherence to their guidelines and protocols. With EDI integration, businesses can automate order, shipping, product, and inventory data from EDI to their ERP systems to eliminate errors caused by manual processes and data entry which ensures accuracy, timeliness, and compliance.
