What is GXS EDI?
GXS EDI is the exchange of structured business documents through the OpenText GXS Trading Grid, one of the world's largest Value Added Networks. Suppliers, retailers, and logistics providers use GXS VAN connectivity to exchange the EDI 850, 810 invoices, and 856 ship notices with trading partners worldwide. Cogential IT manages every layer of your GXS EDI integration, from AS2 Direct setup and Interconnect 997 compliance to mapping and monitoring, so documents flow reliably between your ERP and every partner on the network.
Operational Focus
GXS Trading Grid Operations
We configure AS2 Direct connections and Global VAN Interconnect sessions so your documents reach the OpenText Trading Grid without manual intervention or delays.
Our team maps 850, 810, and 856 transaction sets to your ERP fields, validating every segment before transmission across the GXS VAN.
We monitor Interconnect 997 acknowledgments around the clock, flagging exceptions and resolving trading partner issues before they impact shipments.
GXS AS2 PIPELINE
GXS Frictionless Retail Fulfillment Automation
Your ERP should talk to the OpenText GXS Trading Grid without human intermediaries. Cogential IT builds that bridge, orchestrating document flow between SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, and NetSuite environments and the GXS VAN that your retail and manufacturing partners already use. We handle AS2 Direct transport, envelope formatting, and Interconnect 997 acknowledgment processing inside one managed pipeline, so purchase orders land in your order module and invoices post without rekeying. Whether you are replacing a legacy VAN connection or adding new partners to an existing program, our retail EDI solutions scale with your trading community and keep every 850, 810, and 856 moving on schedule.

Meeting GXS VAN Compliance Deadlines
Trading partners on the OpenText Trading Grid enforce strict document standards, and failed transmissions quickly escalate into chargebacks and strained retail relationships.
01
How do I connect to GXS using AS2?
Cogential IT provisions certified AS2 Direct connections with exchange of certificates, encryption settings, and test transmissions. We validate connectivity against the OpenText Trading Grid, confirm Interconnect 997 acknowledgment routing, and cut over to production only after every document passes end-to-end testing with your trading partners.
02
What EDI documents does GXS support?
The GXS VAN carries the full ANSI X12 catalog, but your program typically requires 850 purchase orders, 810 invoices, and 856 advance ship notices. We build, test, and maintain each map so every segment aligns with your partners' Trading Grid specifications.
03
How do I avoid GXS chargebacks?
Effective GXS vendor chargeback prevention starts with accurate 856 ASN data and 810 invoices that match purchase order terms. Late or erroneous transmissions expose you to deductions that erode invoice value, so we validate every document against Trading Grid rules before release.
THE INSIDE STORY

DOCUMENT SCRUBBING
Validate Every GXS 810, 850 & 856 Before It Leaves
Rejected documents on the GXS VAN cost far more than transmission fees; they trigger chargebacks, delayed payments, and strained partner scorecards. Cogential IT prevents that exposure with pre-send validation across every 850, 810, and 856 you release. Our engine checks segment order, element lengths, date formats, and partner-specific Trading Grid rules before a document ever leaves your environment, and our ERP integration platform flags exceptions to the right owner with actionable detail. The result is fewer Interconnect 997 rejections, faster acknowledgment cycles, and cleaner data arriving at every destination.
