sap pi b2b add-on

Hello

We are currently planning on getting on SAP PI B2B ADD-ON. Currently we generate the EDI formatted file using file content conversion in the receiver file adapter. It is a very laborious task.

Does getting the B2B ADD-ON eliminate the file content conversion to produce the EDI file format ? Also how much time would cost would be saved if we got the b2b ADD-ON? Is there anyone who is doing file content conversion to generate the edi file format ? What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
