Electronic Data Interchange
Fairview's EDI capabilities streamline our customers ordering experience.
What is EDI?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents
in a standard electronic format between trading partners.
What EDI Does
Automates communication between two business systems (for example, between Fairview and a distributor’s ERP system).
Standardizes data so both parties can interpret it correctly, regardless of their internal software.
Replaces manual processes like faxing, mailing, or emailing documents.
Common EDI Documents
Purchase Orders (850) – Sent from a buyer to a supplier to order products.
Invoices (810) – Sent from a supplier to a buyer for payment.
Advanced Shipping Notices (856) – Sent to inform a buyer about an incoming shipment.
Inventory Updates (846) – Communicates stock levels and product availability.
Benefits of EDI
Efficiency: Speeds up order processing and reduces manual data entry.
Accuracy: Minimizes human error and data mismatches.
Cost Savings: Reduces paper, printing, and administrative costs.
Visibility: Improves tracking of orders, shipments, and inventory in real-time.
Compliance: Meets the electronic trading requirements of many large customers and distributors.
