EDI is quite different from sending electronic mail messages or sharing files through a network, a modem, or a bulletin board. The straight transfer of computer files requires that the computer applications of both the sender and receiver (referred to as "trading partners") agree upon the format of the document. The sender must use an application that creates a file format identical to your computer application.

When you use EDI, it's not necessary for you and your trading partner to have identical document processing systems. When your trading partner sends a document, the EDI translation software converts the proprietary format into an agreed upon standard. When you receive the document, your EDI translation software automatically changes the standard format into the proprietary format of your document processing software.

    EDI documents are stored in a mailbox. You can look at the documents in your mailbox at any time. If your customer wants a copy of an invoice, instead of calling you they simply check their mailbox. Imagine the time savings form not having to copy and fax/mail copies of invoices or purchase orders.
