Overview

The root type of each EDIFACT schema is EDI.

Each schema has EDIFACT, Interchange, and Transmission categories that stem from the EDI root type. For example, the edif91_1 schema contains the EDIFACT version 91.1 and the edif93_2 schema contains the EDIFACT version 93.2.

EDIFACT schemas are organized in the same way that ANSI X12 schemas are organized. If you trade by using both ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, you can easily design aschema to make it a multi-standard schema.
