Peter, We have an account with OpenText an EDI VAN (Value Added Network) We use their software to Send and receive EDI documents. The incoming EDI Documents are then parsed by 4D and internal records are created We create EDI formate text files as return documents that are exported from 4D to a folder on the client machine. Those EDI documents are then sent by the OpenText EDI software.
EDI Documents are structured Text documents with guidelines and rules for each transaction document. They are fairly complex but once you are familiar with the formatting it is relatively straight forward.

I have an ERP running at a customer site who is a big Amazon suppler (i.e. they sell products/services TO Amazon). Amazon want them to submit sales invoices via their EDIFACT (or X12) gateway. I’m a bit out of my depth here as I haven’t done any EDI stuff before, although I have quite a lot of experience with interfaces in general - ftp, http, etc. Where to start !? Does anyone have experience of this that could point out the basics or direct me to some useful docs ? The comms protocol is AS2 so it would seem that the actual connection is done over http. I presume it’s then a case of formatting the documents and sending them as an http attachment, but that’s as far as I’ve got so far. Any tips welcome.
