Designed to get an EDI Windows support team trained in product setup and configuration, becoming operational with partners and transactions quickly and economically. This four-day program is designed for new or existing customers. Learn the features, functions and benefits of EDI Windows. We will show you how to use the EDI Windows toolset including the configuration, mapping and job management program, reports, various utilities, and processing scripts.

Once trained, your team will be able to use the tools to interchange transaction files with your applications, translate application data to and from EDIFACT or X12 formats, as well as connect to one or more communication network(s) of your choice to exchange EDI messages through a VAN or directly with your partners.

 
Job Scheduling Module and Processing Scripts
 
Translation Module
The translation module uses configuration information about partners, transactions, file maps, and EDI standards to translate incoming EDI messages into transaction files for your application to process. It is also used to translate transaction files from your application(s) into EDI transactions to be sent to your partners, via one or more networks.
 
Mapping Module
All X12 / EDIFACT standards and transaction support is included with the software. Transaction data received may be printed, or "mapped" into file formats you define for your application(s) to process. Mapping is also used to selectively pick data out of application data files for creation of EDI transactions to send to your partners.
