What is Tar Heel Trade EDI?
Tar Heel Trade EDI is the standardized electronic exchange of manufacturing supply chain documents between Tar Heel Trade and its vendor network, ensuring real-time data alignment across purchase orders, shipment notices, and invoices. It enforces strict compliance with Tar Heel Trade’s digital integration architecture, enabling automated order-to-cash cycles and inventory visibility within a high-velocity production environment.
Manufacturing supply chain synchronization focus
Ensuring every 850, 855, and 856 document passes Tar Heel Trade’s structural and business rule validation without rejection.
Synchronizing EDI data directly with Epicor Kinetic, SAP S/4HANA, or other manufacturing ERPs to eliminate manual entry.
