X12 Technical Tutorial

 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is classically defined as the application-to-application exchange of structured business data between organizations. X12 is an ANSI standard that supplies that structure. There are many good books concerned with the business benefits of EDI, implementation considerations, and operational aspects. You may find several listed on my Books and Magazines page. However, I have as yet found none that give a good introduction to the technical professional who wants a brief introduction to the standard. These pages are intended to give the EDI or X12 newcomer a brief technical overview of X12.

 

Overview

Syntax and Control

Semantics - What the Data Means

Implementation Conventions, or Why EDI is Such a Pain
