JAMA EDIFACT bears only a passing resemblance to actual EDIFACT. Only the segments are the same, all other data has been changed to protect the guilty.
Basically, JAMA EDIFACT is a flat file wedged into segments and elements. You will need to carefully review the documentation provided by your Japanese partner to understand and interpret the data, it will save you a lot of hair pulling if you just think of it as a flat file with pesky little extras thrown in.

For Japan \ it is a bit more complicated; EDIFACT is used by larger companies / importers and exporters for international EDI communications. Smaller firms don't normally support EDIFACT. Locally Zengen or CII is much more common. These are Japan specific double byte formats not widely supported outside Japan. If you are in Automotive there is also JAMA EDIFACT which is a localized version to support both international EDIFACT plus local double byte requirements.
