RE: EDI Question

Earl,

That’s what EDI stands for????  I thought it was Easily Driven Insane.  Man, that clears up a lot of questions on why I get blamed for everything wrong. 

Cheers,

Actually the acronym EDI is Electronic Data Interchange.

So actually, they are correct.  Email is exchanged electronically, so it is
also EDI  ;-)

Most of what we do here is EDI using the X12 format to exchange business
documents.

That's why a lot of eCommerce stuff is also considered EDI, even though it may
not use X12 to exchange information.
