Benefits of Electronic Data Interchange

Benefits of Electronic Data Interchange

Electronic Data Interchange or EDI refers to the exchange of documents between parties through computer. It is much like the mailing or fax system where exchanging information is concerned, but EDI saves a lot of trouble and cost just doing it. What happens is that when a sender enters a purchase order in their computer, the order travels into a batch of interface program which edits the order and sends it to the intermediate files. This is where the order is translated into a standard format that the software understands which the receiving computer will receive it in before transmitting it back into a value added network that converts the order back to the original form. Because this is done automatically, it is done quickly without needing a middle person to fulfill the role of sorting out orders and sending it to the right person. In fact, there are many benefits of using EDI, and here are some of them.
