Raw EDI data files you receive should be treated like any other document your organization receives on paper, via fax, etc. That means that your company's record retention policies should be applied. If your record retention policies do not address electronic data, either received or generated by your company, I strong encourage you to bring this gap to the attention of the appropriate management so that your policies can be appropriately amended.

What is the timeframe on an EDI doc, in its raw form, needs to be archived before deletion? I don't know if there are legal requirements to save the original EDI data, we are health care industry, I don't know if SOX requires it. But, even absent legal requirements, the original EDI data ought to be kept for audit and dispute resolution purposes. Any information that will help me determine if need to keep the EDI data.
