What Is Supplier EDI Onboarding?
Supplier EDI onboarding is the process of connecting your internal systems, ERP, WMS, or order management, directly to a retail trading partner's EDI environment, then proving that connection works. It covers choosing a connection method such as AS2, SFTP, or a VAN, mapping your data to the partner's required transaction sets, and passing a round of test transactions before the partner certifies you to go live.
