Compliance check

The EDI Standard organizations publish formats for X12 and EDIFACT documents so that they can be correctly translated by computers. Strict compliance with these standards is essential if EDI files are to be processed properly. The WebSphere Transformation Extender EDI Compliance Check framework enforces these EDI standards by validating X12 and EDIFACT EDI documents before translation. Validation of newly created EDI documents ensures that the data you create conforms and does not create issues for your trading partners. As the trend in the industry is to consider fines for non-compliance, verifying that the data you create is compliant, and is of key importance.

Validation ensures more accurate EDI translation and a more robust automated process by detecting and rejecting EDI files with anomalies that might break the translation program and interrupt production.

If there are errors present in the EDI data, the EDI Compliance Check framework produces acknowledgements that are ready for re-enveloping and transmittal.
