What is CDK Global EDI Integration?

CDK Global EDI Integration is the automated exchange of automotive-specific business documents like purchase orders, invoices, and payment remittances directly between a dealership's CDK DMS and trading partners via standardized EDI protocols, ensuring real‑time data sync and compliance with OEM mandates.

CDK Global EDI COMPLIANCE

Where do CDK Global integrations usually get stuck?

Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.

01

Why do OEM 850s reject in CDK after mapping?

Missing N1 loop qualifiers or incorrect unit‑of‑measure codes break validation silently.

02

How do partial payment remittances cause DMS‑side reconciliation failures?

Unmatched 820 BPR segments against open invoices create suspension queues and manual work.

03

Why do AS2 MDN timeouts interrupt just‑in‑time parts orders?

Untuned SSL/TLS handshake and certificate chains delay transmission beyond OEM SLA windows.

The Cogential IT Edge

Why We’re the Ultimate CDK Global EDI Provider

We embed directly into CDK’s DMS layer, so EDI becomes a native process—not a bolt‑on middleware that breaks at quarter‑end.

OEM‑grade 850/810 mapping pre‑built

Our library mirrors every major automaker’s version‑specific EDI guides, so no trial‑and‑error mapping delays.

DMS‑first exception handling

Alerts surface inside CDK’s Parts and Accounting modules, not a separate dashboard, for instant correction.

AS2/VAN/SFTP hybrid transport

One connector routes automatically across AS2, VAN, and SFTP falling back during outages without manual intervention.

Barcode shipping label integration

Auto‑generate OEM‑compliant labels from 856 data inside CDK, eliminating off‑system labeling errors.

Payment‑advice auto‑posting

820 remittance details post directly to open AR in CDK, closing loops without Finance touching a keyboard.

Continuous compliance monitoring

Daily scans against the latest OEM specs flag deprecated elements before they trigger a chargeback.
