Are you having problems opening an EDI file or just wondering what they contain? We explain what these files are used for and show you software that we know can open or otherwise handle your files.
What is an EDI file?
An .EDI file is an UN/EDIFACT Data file.
UN/EDIFACT is an ambitious undertaking, offering seamless end-to-end data automation for all parties involved. By putting the complexity of document exchanges into a standard digital format, UN/EDIFACT makes it easier to send and process information from multiple sources in a reliable and accurate way.
Rather than requiring independent data reconciliation efforts before each exchange, EDIFACT's pre-defined message structures guarantee greater consistency between exchanged documents. This eliminates discrepancies that can lead to costly processing errors, and eliminates manual audits that increase overhead costs.
Moreover, UN/EDIFACT facilitates efficient oversight of larger volumes of data, powered by intuitive analytics tools for tracking payments, invoices, and other transactional details in real time.
Ultimately, UN/EDIFACT is a powerful tool for connecting the dots between systems and organizations in an economical fashion. Its adaptable framework ensures that it can meet virtually any needs now or in the future – making it a keystone in global standardization efforts.
