r/edi

I’m trying to get a clearer picture of which ecommerce focused ERPs actually have native EDI built in, versus the ones that still rely on a separate EDI provider or connector once you start dealing with bigger retail channels. The use case I’m thinking about is brands selling through places like Walmart, Target and other big box or marketplace retail partners where EDI is not optional. Purchase orders, ASNs, invoices, inventory updates, routing, labels, chargebacks, all the fun stuff.

I have implemented an EDI (for invoicing) system from scratch in Node.js/ NestJs and integrated it into our enterprise-grade system. I wonder if there is a job market for this to work as a software engineer specialized in the development of EDIFACT systems for enterprise-grade systems. I know that there are a lot of tools to build and map the EDI data fields, but I am not speaking of using these vendor tools like IBM Sterling; I am exclusively referring to implementing the EDIFACT standards from scratch, the EDI file generation, validation, and parsing. Is this a thing? I couldn't even find any libraries to help me generate or parse the EDI files in Node.js, so I had to implement everything from scratch.

We are looking for a Senior Healthcare EDI Developer to help build and support healthcare EDI integrations for a fast-growing healthcare transportation platform.

Hi all,

I have been working on and off with Lobster data for the past three years. It always surprised me how there is no community/forum/post from developers going about their jobs. No questions, no discussions, nothing. Every time I look for something its either found on the official help or not at all.
Case in point, I have a question about how to enable the X400 output and if it requires a license and cannot find anything.
Is there some kind of secret reddit, discord server or physical pub where people congregate and talk about lobster or is there nothing at all but dry, empty sand?

Anyone? Anything? out there?

Hi,

I’ve recently joined as a fresher in the Client Success Manager domain. I would like to build a strong understanding of the technical aspects of EDI.

Could you please share any useful resources, links, or documents that can help me learn? I’m especially interested in understanding how customer work orders are handled from a technical perspective.

Since I come from a non-technical background, gaining this knowledge will help me collaborate more effectively with mappers and integrators.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Bloomingdales sends over PO’s that are then allocated to stores. They are then consolidated for palletization and LTL shipment to their Distribution Centers.

Does TrueCommerce handle the automation for DSDC shipments? Can this be done upstream and sent to NetSuite?

Additionally, can the carrier assignments for a DSDC shipments also be automated? Ideally, can that be assigned upstream and sent to NetSuite as an assigned shipping item at the order level?

Thanks in advance for your help. I appreciate it.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for notes or a PDF on the 837 transaction set. I’d really appreciate any resources you can share. Also, if anyone is currently working with this transaction set, please DM me.
