EDI-Sale FAQs
What is EDI?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) refers to standardized message formats used to exchange commercial information between organizations. These messages contain precise details about specific stages of the supply chain—from placing an order to receiving closing documents. Suppliers and customers independently build their EDI message workflows, taking into account the specifics of their business processes.
What are the main types of EDI messages used by trading partners?
A standard EDI workflow includes four messages:
ORDER — order. It is created in the retailer’s accounting system, sent as an EDI message, and automatically uploaded into the supplier’s accounting system.
DESADV — dispatch advice (shipping notice). It is an equivalent of shipping documents and contains up-to-date information about the shipment of goods from the supplier’s warehouse
RECADV — receiving advice. It includes a list of the goods actually received and information about reasons for non-acceptance. It allows a correct invoice to be generated.
INVOICE — invoice. It is created in the supplier’s accounting system, sent as an EDI message, and automatically uploaded into the retailer’s accounting system.
Which accounting systems can be integrated?
Integration is possible with all modern accounting systems. The list of accounting systems already integrated with the Docura platform includes…
What is a GLN and how can it be obtained?

region;
phone and fax numbers;
contact person details;
bank details;
delivery requirements and restrictions.GLNs are issued by GS Servic. The identification number is registered with GS1. A GLN is paid for separately.
