For many IBMi manufacturers, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) once meant long projects, custom coding, and costly infrastructure. Those days are gone. As highlighted during inPOWER 2025, today’s ERP systems like Infor XA are designed to natively generate and receive standardized business documents using Infor BOD XML. This built-in capability, combined with secure connectivity options such as the ION connector, APIs and VPNs, has transformed EDI into a faster, simpler, and more reliable  Read more...process.
Modern EDI embeds business logic directly into smart mapping tools, automating trading partner-specific rules like price variances, shipping offsets, or unit-of-measure conversions. These intelligent maps reduce manual entry, prevent data errors, and eliminate the need for complex ERP modifications. The result is seamless trading partner communication, consistent data across systems, and full compliance with partner requirements.
By automating routine transactions and ensuring data accuracy, manufacturers gain real-time visibility, faster fulfillment, and stronger customer relationships. EDI is no longer an IT challenge; it’s a strategic advantage that connects IBMi ERPs like Infor XA directly to the global supply chain.
