Well, does anybody know about an good source to learn about EDI messages? (by example the message 856 (ASN)). I would like a source in spanish language, but english it's acceptable too, something for dummys,blog,book/ebook,documentation,etc... step by step, we're probably starting to work with them in a few months, and we are really lost, we have documentation from our client, but if you know a good source a walk through, where to start, it will be welcome.
I just found the FrameworkEDI www.edidev.co
Any recommendation ? Somebody has worked with it ?
My regards.
I'm confused: you tagged edifact, but you reference an ANSI X12 document (856). Which standard are you working with?
A to Z of EDI:
You can usually get manuals on how to translate the data when you select a translator. Perhaps you are looking for a commercial grade translator product that can help. There are hundreds on the market. Try this: http://liaison.com/products/transform/delta
Download EDI Notepad from Liaison (http://liaison.com/products/integrate/edi-notepad) This tool will help you look at EDI data and understand it.
The EDIFACT wiki might be of some help, since it talks in terms of segments and elements: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDIFACT
