Demo: Build an 850 EDI purchase order Stedi guide from a PDF

Typical EDI implementation guides are formatted as PDFs, Word documents, or CSV files. The following video demonstrates how to interpret a PDF implementation guide and use it to create a user-friendly, machine-readable Stedi guide that you can share with trading partners.

The video includes examples of how to:

  • Create a new Stedi guide
  • Interpret requirements in a PDF implementation guide, such as whether segments are required or optional
  • Set up variants for N1 Loops and segments that can occur more than once in a transaction set
  • Use the Stedi guide's built-in EDI Inspector to test an EDI sample file against the guide's specifications
Visit Customize Guides for full details about building custom Stedi guides, including how to add segments, create conditional elements, handle hierarchy and loops, and more.
