How to PI and UN/EDIFACT scenarios?

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I’ll start soon a new PI project with EDI scenarios. It will be my first XI-EDI project and I don’t have any experience with this kind of scenarios. I already read some documentation, as well as some info at SDN, but I still have some inconsistencies:

How to start? Which is the sequence of steps to configure such scenarios?

Do I need Conversion Agent?

Can I use any adapter of AE or I am limited to B2B adapters?

We are going to work with UN/EDIFACT protocol for a network gas - http://www.edigas.org/ if anyone has experience or did some similar scenarios that could guide me I would appreciate very much.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Ricardo.

hey

>>How to start? Which is the sequence of steps to configure such scenarios?

First of all you need to decide which EDI tool you are gonna use,will it be SeeBurger,Adeptive or Conversion agent and then move from there.

>>Do I need Conversion Agent?

Its one of the option to handle EDI,you can use other tools too like SeeBurger or Adeptive,i have seen clients using seeburger very extensively.

>>Can I use any adapter of AE or I am limited to B2B adapters?

Depends upon the scenario you are doing,speaking in terms of seeburger you can even use XI's File adapter to pick/deliver EDI file as long as you configure bic mapping under the modules tab.(simple File adapter without module will not work here)

Thanx
