Guides overview

EDI implementation guides define the format for a particular EDI transaction type. Stedi guides are a machine-readable version of the implementation guides your partners would typically provide to you as PDF, Word, or Excel files.

When you attach a guide to a transaction setting, Stedi uses it to validate and translate (inbound) or generate (outbound) the EDI files you exchange with your partner.
