Trading PartnerWhat is the EDI 140 Product Registration?
The EDI 140 Product Registration is an X12 transaction set enabling suppliers to electronically submit product data—identifiers, descriptions, and compliance attributes—to trading partners. It automates the registration process, feeding structured information into the buyer's ERP catalog. This ensures accurate, synchronized product records, reducing onboarding errors and manual data entry. The 140 aligns digital product catalogs, vital for efficient purchase order processing and supply chain visibility.
