AWS B2B Data Interchange introduces new configuration capabilities for generated EDI documents

AWS B2B Data Interchange now offers enhanced configurability for outbound X12 EDI documents. Newly introduced configurations allow you to customize format and technical fields contents of generated EDI documents to ensure compatibility with your trading partners' requirements and minimize rejection risks.

AWS B2B Data Interchange automates validation, transformation and generation of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) documents such as ANSI X12 documents to and from JSON and XML data formats. This update enables customers to configure date and time formats, new line character usage, starting control numbers, and acknowledgement documents generation. All configurations are set at the Partnership level, ensuring all EDI documents generated for a specific trading partner consistently meet their requirements. For example, if a trading partner requires all inbound EDI documents to be formatted as a single text line, customers can configure AWS B2B Data Interchange to omit new line characters in all X12 EDI documents generated for that partner.

These new configuration options for generated X12 EDI documents are available in all AWS Regions where AWS B2B Data Interchange is available.
