Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic means of exchanging routine business transactions with companies around the world by using standardized formats. EDI benefits an organization by streamlining the traditional paper process into an efficient and less time consuming electronic process. Through EDI, you can conduct business electronically with your trading partners in the most effective way.
In this enhancement, the EDI functionality has been introduced in sales orders, invoices, and credit notes that will allow you to include EDI information such as unique sequence numbers that link EDI sales order entries to purchase orders, cancellation dates for cancelled or non shipped items, and others.
