Electronic Data Interchange

The sending, transmission, reception and interchange of information and data relating to business transactions (typically an order or an invoice) via electronic means. EDI is analogous to EFT (Electronics Funds Transfer) but it is more complicated to establish standards for EDI, as each organization typically has its own document formats, its own ordering and invoice practices. Establishing an EDI service involves devising a standard format for each type of transaction that suits all participants. EDI has developed from pioneer work initially in the UK and later the rest of Europe and the USA. The United Nations became incolved and in 1980 published GTDI.
