Mapping outbound EDI data
If you intend to map outbound EDI data, you need type trees, specifications, and test data.
What is needed specifically, is listed here:
- A type tree for your input data, typically, the definitions of application data that you want to transform to EDI.
- An EDI type tree for your output data.
- A type tree for partner EDI information, in particular, to keep control numbers coordinated.
- The specifications describe what input information you want to send to one or more of your trading partners.
- Some application test data to test your map.
