Structure of the interface file for EDI messages

Structure of the interface file for EDI messages

The interface file for a specific EDI message uses the structure and naming conventions from the EDI X12 or EDIFACT standard for that message.
The EDI interface file contains the following root element:
  • EDI X12:
    <interchanges>
    element.
  • EDIFACT:
    <interchange>
    element.
Within the root element is a message type element, for example
<x12:TS_810>
in EDI X12 or
<TS_INVOIC>
in EDIFACT, and loop elements, segment elements, and data elements. For each element in the standard, there is a matching element in the interface file. The loop, segment, and data elements use the naming conventions in the EDI X12 or EDIFACT standard.
