Complete EDI Solution for ANSI X12 Transactions

Introduction

What is ANSI X12?

ANSI X12, developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1979, is a global standard for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). It facilitates intercompany electronic exchange of business documents between trading partners.

Why Use ANSI X12 for EDI Transactions?

By defining uniform segments and elements, ANSI X12 ensures seamless communication between businesses, covering various documents like invoices, purchase orders, and shipment notifications.
