For a long time, the establishment of many successful business partnerships stems from the establishment of strong relationships. Fast forward to our digital modern society. In this era, many business relationships have been established or destroyed through digital technology. Although this centuries-old truth still exists, it has become more and more complicated.
This is most obvious in the world of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). In particular, EDI deductions, that is, some companies impose financial penalties on suppliers who fail to maintain EDI in compliance with the agreed SLA (service level agreement), which in turn causes damage to the trading partnership.
What is the meaning of EDI compliance?
EDI compliance refers to the ability of an enterprise to exchange EDI transactions based on the order data requirements of its EDI trading partners. Each document sent or receive must adhere to set of specific EDI format to ensure successful exchange of data. Cogential IT EDI Services and solutions quickly realized the B2B connection between buyers and sellers.
Many companies insist that their trading partners use EDI software for communication, which provide a reliable and secure medium to exchange their data. Top names include retail giants such as Walmart, Target and Amazon.

Many large companies have requirements for the setup and maintenance of EDI trading partners, both of which are important to maintain compliance.

Why is EDI compliance important?
Almost all major trading partners expect companies with which they trade to comply with EDI regulations. Therefore, the importance of establishing and maintaining EDI regulations cannot be underestimated, especially considering that it can benefit your bottom line.
At the most basic level, EDI compliance means that your business can use EDI to receive your purchase orders and send invoices.
A solid, trust-based relationship based on EDI capabilities can promote confidence and business growth. The problem of incorrect implementation of EDI is not only frustrating, but can also cause losses.
The cost of non-compliance-EDI refund
EDI refunds due to non-compliance caused by your mistakes will cause you losses. These mistakes disrupt your business operations and cause monetary losses. If you are late for delivery, the package is mislabelled, or the goods are damaged or incomplete, you may cause losses.
Any EDI transaction file must contain a certain amount of important data. Without these requirements, EDI documents will become useless. Following strict EDI feed formatting rules helps to define exactly where to find and use every important part of the data required in the document. Each file is assigned one of dozens of transaction numbers in the EDI common format.
