Beginner’s Guide to EDI Integration

In this blog post, I will explain how to read and understand an EDI file. EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange. There are mainly two standards: X12 and EDIFACT. X12 is primarily used in North America, especially in the United States, whereas EDIFACT is predominantly used in Europe. This blog post will focus on X12 syntax only.

Common EDI Transactions:

  • EDI 850: Buyer sends Purchase Order to Supplier
  • EDI 855: Supplier confirms to Buyer whether the order can be fulfilled
  • EDI 856: Supplier provides advance notice of a shipment (ASN)
  • EDI 810: Supplier sends invoice to Buyer

Each line of the file is referred to as a segment. Each EDI file starts with ISA (Interchange Control Header) segment and ends with IEA (Interchange Control Trailer) segment.

There can be ‘n’ number of GS/GE segment pair. Each GS segment can have ‘n’ number of transaction set (SE/ST segment pair) of same type.

ISA (Interchange Control Header) Segment

ISA is fixed length positional.

ISA*00*          *00*          *ZZ*SRCA           *ZZ*DSTB           *231116*1700*U*00401*000001000*0*T*>
Element Name Usage Sample Value
ISA01 Authorization Info Qualifier. Fixed length – 2. Code ’00’ indicates that no authorization information present in ISA02 00
ISA02 Authorization Information. Fixed length – 10 Ten spaces
ISA03 Security Info Qualifier. Fixed length – 2. Code ’00 ‘indicates that no security information present in ISA04. 00
ISA04 Security Information. Fixed length – 10 Ten spaces

ISA-01 through ISA-04 are hardly used anymore and that is why these are kept as 00 and blank now-a-days.

Element Name Usage Sample Value
ISA05 Interchange Sender ID Qualifier. Fixed length -2 . Used to define the ID sent in the ISA06. ZZ
ISA06 Interchange Sender ID. Fixed length – 15 SRCA
ISA07 Interchange Receiver ID Qualifier. Fixed length – 2. Used to define the ID sent in the ISA08. ZZ
ISA08 Interchange Receiver ID. Fixed length – 15 DSTB

The commonly used qualifiers for ISA05/ISA07 are –

  • 01  (DUNS: Dun & Bradstreet’s master Data Universal Numbering System)
  • 12 (Telephone number)
  • ZZ (Mutually Defined)
Element Name Usage Sample Value
ISA09 Interchange Date. Fixed length – 6. Format – YYMMDD 231116
ISA10 Interchange Time. Fixed length – 4. Format – HHMM 1700
ISA11 Code to identify the agency responsible for the control standard used by the message. Fixed length – 1. ‘U’ stands for ‘U.S. EDI Community of ASC X12’ U
ISA12 EDI Version Number. Fixed length – 5 00401
ISA13 Control number for tracking purpose. It must match with IEA02. Fixed length – 9

000001000
ISA14 Acknowledgement Requested (TA1). Code ‘0’ indicates that no acknowledgment has been requested.

0
ISA15 Usage Indicator. Code ‘P’ indicates that the interchange envelope contains production data. ‘T’ indicates non-prod data

T
ISA16 Component/Sub Element Separator. The delimiter used to separate component data elements within a composite data structure; this value must be different than the data element separator and the segment terminator.

>

In the above example, * is element separator.

CRLF is segment separator.

Sub element separator

PID*F****CNT HSN10201>700

PID represents product description.

PID01 = F, which means free-form

PID05 is using component separator. It has 2 parts. 1st part is CNT HSN10201, 2nd part is 700. This is just an example for showing how to use sub element separator. Always refer to partner’s EDI implementation guidelines for actual usage.

IEA (Interchange Control Trailer) Segment

IEA*1*000001000
Element Name Value
IEA01 Count of the GS segments
IEA02 Must match with ISA13

GS (Functional Group Header) Segment

GS*PO*SRCA*DSTB*20231116*1700*1000*X*004010
Element Name Description Sample Value
GS01 Functional Identifier Code PO
GS02 Application Sender’s Code SRCA
GS03 Application Receiver’s Code DSTB
GS04 Date (CCYYMMDD) 20231116
GS05 Time (HHMM) 1700
GS06 Group Control Number 1000
GS07 Responsible Agency Code X
GS08 Version / Release / Industry Identifier 004010

GE (Functional Group Trailer) Segment

GE*1*1000
Element Name Description Sample Value
GE01 Number of Transaction Sets Included 1
GE02 Group Control number. Must match GS06 1000

ST (Transaction Set Header) Segment

ST*850*000000010
Element Name Description Sample Value
ST01 Transaction Set Identifier Code 850
ST02 Transaction Set Control Number

SE (Transaction Set Trailer) Segment

SE*20*000000010
Element Name Description Sample Value
SE01 Total number of segments included in a transaction set including ST and SE segments 20
SE02 Transaction Set Control Number. Must Match ST02.

  • 6 PO line items (CTT01 –  is the accumulation of the number of PO1 segments)

Qualifier List

In the above example, I have mentioned some of the qualifiers. All the list of values are present in Code list of Integration Advisor.

BEG01: 00

BEG02: SA

REF01: DP

DTM01: 002

N101: ST

How to convert EDI to XML format?

Use ‘EDI to XML Converter’ and the schema should be downloaded from Integration Advisor.

You can specifically select the required segments or ‘Select All’.

Use the schema from the downloaded zip file in EDI to XML Converter.

Output XML:
