Hello, and welcome to another episode of the 1 EDI Source Educational Series. Today we'll answer the question: What is an EDI 850? As well as: What is Mapping? -- when it relates to EDI 850's.
Well the example you're seeing on the screen here is simply an EDI 850 that came from a U.S. retailer. It's also known as a Purchase Order. This is a typical format that you might see, but it's important note that each trading partner might send you a different version or a slightly different look.
It is the job of your EDI translation and mapping software to convert these different formats into a common layout that your accounting or ERP system can understand. For a company that's generating EDI 850's for their supplier on the other hand it's the job of the software to convert from the standard format coming out of your ERP system to the EDI format agreed to by you and your trading partner.
