EDI X12

EDI X12 was developed by the American National Standards Institute Accredation Standards Council X12. EDI X12 is a US EDI standard that was published in 1979, partially in response to the Japanese automotive industry’s Just-In-Time manufacturing concept. EDI X12 then expanded to the retail industry and other areas. EDI X12 is published in versions, the most commonly used one is 4010.

EDI X12 is the standard most widely used in the United States for EDI.  For any software to work with retailers located in the United States, it must be compatible with the EDI X12 standard. Being compatible with the EDI X12 standard and making use of the EDI X12 standard easy, however, are two very different things.  To be compliant with the EDI X12, software must simply provide a way to interpret the EDI X12 data.   Each retailer that uses the EDI X12 standard, however, has what is known as an “implementation guide” for EDI X12.  This is a document that states how that particular company is using the EDI X12 standard to exchange EDI X12 data with its vendors. EDI X12 compliance, then, is simply the first step.  Many low-end, low-cost packages will offer EDI X12 compliance without making the process of implementing an EDI X12 solution for a specific partner an easy one.

Before selecting your software vendor, you should make sure you understand how the vendor’s EDI X12 data is managed.  Specifically, does the vendor provide a means for you to add support for the EDI X12 format of a specific trading partner without the need to learn the EDI X12 specifications?  On the other hand, does the software package have the flexibility that you will need if you choose to create your own set-ups based on the EDI X12 standard?  If you can answer yes to both of these questions about EDI X12, you will have the best of both worlds.  A software package that can provide pre-packaged EDI X12 compatible component kits will make your life easier, especially in the beginning. At the same time, you may someday decide that it makes more sense to create your own components using the EDI X12 standard.  A good software package will give you maximum flexibility.

EMANIO’s Trading Partner® software provides this EDI X12 solution.  We provide EDI X12 compatibility throughout the product in two ways.  EMANIO Trading Partner® can use EDI X12 compliant “kits” that will give you the EDI X12 implementation specific to the trading partner in question.  For example, our Wal-Mart Kit will give you all the EDI X12 support you will need to trade with Wal-Mart.  Alternatively,  you can purchase our EDI X12 standards collection, which allows you to use EDI X12 to  create any number of trading partner setups without purchasing individual kits.
