 |
Integrate processes and data from internal and external sources
Achieving full process automation with EDI
Businesses have long had the goal of enabling
automated data transfer procedures either internally or
to and from external entities. Initial solutions towards
this goal were first attempted in the 1960s. Since
then, EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) technology has
been in common use, and continues to significantly
contribute to the globalization of businesses.
Although there have been considerable efforts to
standardize electronic data interchange for data
formats and protocols, there still exists multiple
standards for EDI data transfers, depending on country
and business domain.
Supporting varied standards and protocols
The CANIAS ERP EDI module supports most EDI
standards commonly used such as EDIFACT/EANCOM,
X12, VDA as well as various XML based standards
including OpenTrans and UBL. Additionally, it is easy to
define new and company specific protocols. Data
interchange can be performed through many transport
methods such as Web Services, e-mail, FTP, and SQL,
and these can all be manually or automatically
performed.
CANIAS EDI also supports popular transfer protocols
such as X.400, OFTP, FTAM and Internet related
protocols such as SMTP, HTTP, and AS1-3.
Using monitoring capabilities within the CANIAS ERP EDI module, EDI transactions can be quickly reviewed.
Related fields allow display of protocol lists being
used. Drill-down facilities enable access to user
documents, protocol types, document status, sender
and receiver addresses as well as prior status of
documents.
Successful e-business with EDI
The Internet era has considerably changed electronic
data interchange and new technologies for business
have been developed, such as e-commerce, B2B
commerce and web services. You can rapidly take your
place in e-business world with the CANIAS ERP
Electronic Data Interchange module.
You can perform your data communication using
generally accepted and commonly used standards, and perform data interchange with your customers,
suppliers, dealers, service providers, B2B portals and
banking institutions that use such standards.
For organizations with multiple branches, the EDI
module serves to implement a communication
infrastructure among dispersed locations, allowing
automated processing to take place within corporation.
Due to the architecture of the system that enables
mandatory usage, related costs can be distributed
accurately within the organization and therefore an
