What is EDI integration
EDI integration allows the electronic trading data held within your EDI platform to be shared with your ERP system. All message types processed by your EDI system can be integrated including:
- Orders
- Invoices
- ASNs
- Credit Notes
As your business grows and trades with more customers or suppliers, EDI integration becomes essential in order to avoid inefficient and time consuming manual data entry.
EDI Integration can be achieved when EDI documents, transactions, protocols and endpoints have been agreed and EDI data can be translated into a format compatible with your ERP system.
How EDI Integration works?
There are 2 main types of EDI integration which provide varying levels of efficiency. The first type is often referred to as flat file integration and this involves EDI data being exported from the EDI platform into a file which can then be imported into the ERP system for processing.
The second type of EDI integration is usually referred to as direct integration and involves a direct data connection from the EDI solution to the ERP database. In this instance, data is mapped between the 2 solutions so when the information moves across, it automatically appears in the correct fields in the ERP system.
Why use EDI integration?
As your business grows and the volume of either trading partners or orders and invoices increases, the processing of these electronic documents becomes increasingly inefficient. Without EDI integration, this inefficiency is caused by the manual rekeying of orders, invoices and any other documents. Whilst this process is often acceptable at low volumes when a business is still small, it soon becomes unmanageable as a business scales. Without EDI integration, larger businesses would need large teams of people to manually rekey this volume of data.
What are the key advantages of EDI Integration?
The ultimate aim of EDI is to allow businesses to seamlessly exchange and process electronic trading documents regardless of the size and complexity of their trading network. EDI integration helps fulfil this goal and the subsequent advantages are:
- Scale your business quickly and effortlessly
- Reassign key personnel to more strategically important tasks
- Build better trading relationships with your customers and suppliers
- Eliminate manual errors associated with manual processes
In house vs outsourced EDI Integration
EDI is a complex technology that is difficult to manage and maintain and EDI integration adds an extra level to this complexity. Not only do multiple trading partners, message types and connection protocols needs to be maintained but this information then needs to be translated to an ERP system which is constantly moving to new versions with differing requirements.
In addition to this, EDI expertise is becoming harder to find, relying on an aging group of developers with a niche skillset. As a result, it’s not advisable to try and implement EDI integration in house as the vast majority of these projects end in failure.
