EDI integration uses industry-specific standards and it supports multiple communication protocols. Before you start EDI Integration, it would be good if you have the following information ready:

1) EDI Standard. For example: X12, EDIFACT, etc

2) Communication Protocol: How are we going to retrieve the EDI document? Is it through FTP, local disk or AS2?

3) EDI Document version: For example: 4030. 4050, 5010, etc

4) EDI Document type: This is depending on the integration flow and the standard. Take X12 for example, 850 (Purchase Order), 856 (Shipment), 861 (Receipt), etc

There is a feature in Boomi called ‘Trading Partner’ which can provide a solution for EDI integration.

The Trading Partner functionality can be configured with the details for both your company and your trading partners in terms of document standards and communication types.

For more details or information about Trading Partner configuration in Boomi, you can check out the documentation.
