EDI Standard

A standardized format that defines the syntax, structure, and content of the inbound and outbound document data.

• ANSI ASC X12 - Cross-industry standard

• WINS - Warehouse industry

• UCS - Grocery industry

• TRADACOMS - Retail - UK

• EDIFACT - Commercial export and transport - international

• ODETTE - Motor and component suppliers - Europe

In recent years, a United Nations committee has been working to reconcile ANSI ASC X12 with EDIFACT to further standardize EDI on an international basis.
