As a Resident’s warehouse, you must have heard the term EDI.Segment is Resident’s EDI platform provider, and we are here to help you with all the information you need for communicating with Resident in EDI standards.
What is EDI or X12?
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the automated, computer-to-computer exchange of standard electronic documents (such as invoices, purchase orders, etc.) between business partners over a secure, standardized connection.X12 is a common standard used in the USA for EDI documents.
How does it work?
Resident will send a Purchase Order to Segment’s EDI platform.
Segment’s EDI platform will translate the PO into an EDI-format X12 based.
You (Resident’s Warehouse) will receive the X12-850 via source methods of your choosing (such as SSH, FTP, SFTP, AS2).
When you receive the PO, you will send back the PO confirmation with an X12-977 file to Segment.
Segment will translate the EDI-formatted confirmation and send it to Resident.
Once the goods are packed and ready to ship, you (Resident’s Warehouse Supplier) will send an X12-856 with Shipping Noticeto Segment’s EDI System, which will translate and send it directly to Resident ERP system.
Segment will send you the confirmation for receiving the Shipping Certificate by sending you back an X12-997 file.
