AWS B2B Data Interchange automates EDI, electronic data interchange, workflows between external business partners and internal systems, especially for processing formats like X12 and 850.In a recent integration project, I worked with AWS B2B Data Interchange to integrate with a third-party vendor who was sending EDI X12 purchase orders, 850, and expecting invoices, 810, in return. In the first step, I configured the trading partner in AWS B2B Data Interchange and then defined the communication protocols and document formats. In step two, I set up the inbound flow from EDI to JSON or XML. Incoming EDI files were received via SFTP, and AWS B2B Data Interchange translated the EDI to JSON. I then triggered the processing layer to an internal system, such as an order processing service. In the fourth step, I handled the outbound flow by converting JSON back into EDI 810 format and then sending it to the partner via a configured channel. In the final step, I implemented monitoring and error handling by using CloudWatch for logs, a retry mechanism, and handling of failed information and invalid EDI formats.
