HOW DOES EDI WORK?

In addition to typical exchange of invoices and orders between companies, EDI can be used to notify customers about the delivery execution dates and, at the same time, to update the production schedule for a particular customer in full integration with the production planning department.

Electronic Data Interchange tools have been used by companies for many years to support the flow of business information. Thanks to implementation of appropriate solutions, data can be effectively exchanged between the company’s departments and branches and additionally recorded in the IT system. Such an approach saves effort and time.

SAP EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is one of such solutions.
