Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the concept of businesses communicating electronically with each other as a replacement of traditional communication which happened on traditional pen and paper. Instead of sending invoices and purchase orders via a phone call, fax or mail, businesses can send this data electronically.
In order for this communication to be possible, traditional documents are translated into a format that is structured to be interpreted by EDI software. You do not need to understand this code, it is just to transfer data between systems, while the EDI software shows end-users readable versions of documents.
