Stream EDI offers customers the ability to generate business documents from their in-house system and seamlessly convert them into an EDI standard format, tailored to meet the specific requirements of trading partners.
Most business and ERP systems don't inherently read or create business documents using the international EDI data standards such as ANSI X12 and UN EDIFACT. As a result, there is some sort of translation or transformation needed to convert documents to and from business systems for use.
Stream EDI allows customers to create business documents from an in-house system and have them converted to an EDI standard format that meets trading partner requirements. The document in EDI format is then sent using our OFTP2 and communicated to the business partner who will then convert the EDI standard document into the format which meets their internal system requirements for processing.
Inbound documents flow through a similar path where they are received from partners into our network and then converted to the specific format required for integration into the customer's business system.
Our translation service seamlessly converts documents between different formats and standards.
Stream EDI's Hosted EDI Translation Service provides secure and compliant data transfer, increasing operational speed and productivity through automation and streamlined document exchange.
In today's digital world it is highly important that all data transferred between businesses is done securely. Built on the foundation of Stream EDI's Tier 1 Value Added Network, our EDI translation service leverages a modern security framework to protect data integrity while ensuring compliance with trading partner EDI requirements.
For a business to grow fast, automation and scalability are very important. By increasing the speed that business can be conducted, organizations can achieve greater productivity as they grow. Stream EDI's EDI translation service, built directly into our VAN, can help reduce the processing time by eliminating data entry, integrating business transactions, and automating document exchange between partners.
Many trading partners understand that it's important to transfer accurate and timely information between them to improve business operations and cash flow. By leveraging a translation service, businesses can focus on their core competency, their business, and leave the technical requirements to the experts.
Manually processing documents can create errors that can potentially result in chargebacks. Integrating documents right into business systems eliminates this risk while also reducing the effort associated with processing the document.

Stream EDI's EDI mapping service can map data on an EDI-to-EDI basis or on an EDI to another format.
EDI mapping is a process of establishing the translation of EDI documents to or from a format that is used for integration.
During this mapping process, data structures are defined so that documents can be translated to or from an EDI standard format (EDIFACT, ANSIX12) to a proprietary file that can be easily integrated into a backend business system (ERP).
EDI to/from CSV format
EDI to/from TXT
EDI to/from SAP IDoc
EDI to/from Flat file
EDI to/from Excel
EDI to/from XML
EDI to/from Delimited
Flat file to/from Flat File (any to any translation)
UN / EDIFACT
ANSI X12
SAP IDoc
TRADACOMS
Flat files
XML
Leveraging EDI mapping as a managed service can provide organizations with the expertise, cost savings, scalability, data quality, efficiency, and ongoing support necessary for successful and reliable EDI transactions.
EDI mapping automatically sends external data to internal systems, creating a repeatable process
Connect with multiple trading partners externally and multiple business systems internally, enabling efficient data exchange and integration
Reduce the number of unique EDI maps to the minimal data to internal systems, creating a repeatable process
It's easy to implement changes to the mapping for both external and internal data
Eliminate the manual process of printing and manual data entry, thus saving both time and money
By eliminating the manual data entry process, it can eliminate human errors and the data is accurately imported into backend systems
EDI translation is the process of converting the data from the EDI format into a format that can be understood by the receiving system.
The EDI translator can perform various functions, including parsing the EDI message, validating the data, and mapping the data to the correct fields in the receiving system. The translator can also convert the EDI message into a format that can be easily integrated with the receiving system, such as XML or CSV.
The process involves several steps, including parsing the EDI message, validating the data, and mapping the data to the correct fields in the receiving system.
EDI mapping is the process of defining the relationship between the data in an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) message and the corresponding data elements in the receiving system. EDI mapping involves mapping the data in the EDI message to the fields in the receiving system.
The goal of EDI mapping is to transform and map the data in the EDI message to the correct fields in the receiving system. Here are the steps: Analyzing the EDI message, Identifying the data elements, Creating the mapping rules, Testing the mapping and Finalizing the mapping.
