Description
EDI is often required when dealing with larger companies. Most of the common interactions between trading partners have been codified into various EDI file formats. We'll teach you how to read EDI files, and how to lookup implementation guides to understand what each field means.
This first part of the course is high level, and can be used by managers, business analysts, and quality assurance/testers to gain a deeper understanding of EDI. The second part of the course will show how to process EDI files in several popular programming languages.
The course looks at three families of EDI messages: ECommerce, Motor Carrier (Trucking/Logistics/Freight), and HIPAA/HealthCare. Implementation guides are discussed for the most popular messages in each category.
At the end of this course, a programmer should be able to either create an EDI file from a database, or receive, parse, and store incoming EDI information into a database. All the programming examples will be done with the EDI 850 Purchase Order.
Who this course is for:
Software developers who need to read, understand, and process EDI files
Managers and Business Analysts who want a deeper understanding of EDI for planning and creating requirements
QA - Quality Assurance Testers who need to understand and test EDI-based systems.
Someone who needs to work with an enterprise level EDI tool that doesn't already know the basics.
