Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the sending and receiving of information using computer technology. Its efficiency has made it a condition of doing business in dozens of industries, including retail, transportation, health care, real estate, and government. Any standard business document that one company would exchange with another (such as a purchase order, invoice, shipping schedule, inventory inquiry, and claim submission) can be exchanged via EDI between the two parties, or trading partners.
