To set up EDI you will need to pay a software provider to set up and administer EDI for you. Any software provider can provide training and ongoing support. If you have any further queries about how EDI will work for you, please ask your proposed EDI supplier.
This process usually takes around 40 days from start to finish so please allow this time ahead of implementing any trading plans.
With an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) set up, we can securely exchange business documents such as purchase orders and invoices in a common format.
Our Buyers can generate orders and transmit them via the EDI provider to our suppliers. This helps to reduce lead times, eliminates keying errors, and speeds up payments.
Actions
Please relay our required transmission standards to your proposed EDI supplier
