Auto-generate a Stedi guide from sample EDI files

You can now generate a Stedi guide from sample EDI files.

When you upload one or more EDI samples in the guide builder UI, it pre-populates a new guide based on the segments and elements present in the sample data. This allows you to fine-tune the guide into its final shape instead of starting from scratch. For example, you can add code values and optional elements that are not present in the sample files.

You can always use our pre-built guides from the Stedi Network, which includes guides for hundreds of popular trading partners. We add any requested guide within 1-2 business days.

EDI Guide Catalog extended to include 23 new brands

We are excited to announce the addition of guides for the following brands to our network:

The EDI Guide Catalog is an open directory of our most-requested public Stedi guides, interactive EDI specifications that let you instantly validate X12 EDI documents.

Stedi guides contain validated sample files to help trading partners learn valid usage patterns faster. You can also use Stedi guides to automatically validate, parse, and generate EDI documents according to partner-specific requirements.

Submit a request if you want us to add guides for any new trading partner, and we'll add them to the catalog for free. Building new guides typically only takes a few business days.Contact us to add your guides to the catalog, so you can simplify onboarding for your partners.

Auto-configure Stedi Core profiles and partnerships from EDI files

You can now use the auto-configure option to create Stedi Core profiles and partnerships even faster by using existing EDI files.

When you upload a valid EDI file, Core extracts information from the interchange and functional group headers to generate two profiles - one for the sender and one for the receiver - that you can review before finalizing. Core can also optionally generate a partnership linking those two profiles.

Stedi Core

 is an event-driven EDI system that can validate, parse, and generate EDI for any trading partner. Core profiles contain information required to construct the EDI envelope that has information about the sender and receiver and the metadata of the interchange. Partnerships are a unique relationship between two profiles and describe all aspects of the EDI relationship, including which transaction sets the trading partners will exchange.

Automatically generate 997 Functional Acknowledgments with Stedi Core

You can now enable automatic 997 Functional Acknowledgments for any partnership

 within Stedi Core.When you enable 997 acknowledgments for a partnership, Core automatically generates a 997 Functional Acknowledgment for every valid EDI received and delivers the 997 to the partner using the specified connection.Core generates acknowledgments at the functional group level of the original inbound EDI, and each generated acknowledgment includes ISA and GS envelopes, complete with auto-incremented control numbers. Visit the Core documentation

 for more details.

Review Stedi Core processing events and function logs in the UI

You can now review the generated events and function request and response payloads associated with every file execution and transaction within Stedi Core. You can use this information to quickly troubleshoot issues and understand how your data flows through Core.Core emits events

 for every file, functional group, and transaction set it successfully processes. It also emits events when it delivers generated files and for processing failures.You can now review associated Core events on any file execution or individual transaction details page. You can expand each event to view its complete JSON payload and all the functions that event triggered. You can view the name of the associated event binding and whether the function execution was successful, along with the full request payload.

Improvements to Stedi guides and functions

We released the following improvements to Stedi guides

 and Stedi functions

:

  • The EDI Guide Catalog now has a dynamic search bar that allows you to filter by company name, industry transaction set, or guide name. You can import any guide into your Stedi account for free to use in your integrations.

  • You can now print all Stedi guides without having to make them public.

  • The Functions UI now allows you to adjust the log retention period for each function. You can choose a retention period from 1 day to 10 years.

Configure remote and Stedi-hosted SFTP connections directly in Stedi Core

You can now configure both Stedi-hosted and remote SFTP / FTPS connections from within Stedi Core. Connections tell Core where to retrieve and send files for each trading partner.

  • For SFTP connections, Stedi creates and hosts a fully-managed FTP server. You specify an inbound directory where your partners can add EDI files for Core to automatically process and an outbound directory where Core will deposit generated EDI files for your partners to retrieve. After creation, you can share the autogenerated SFTP user credentials with your trading partners to begin securely exchanging files.

  • For remote SFTP, you can choose how often Core polls for new files, and you can fetch files manually at any time for testing and troubleshooting. Core automatically deposits generated EDI files in the specified outbound directory.

Visit the connections documentation

 for full details and instructions.

Retry failed outbound file executions manually or in bulk

You can now retry failed outbound file executions in Stedi Core.

Previously, failed outbound file executions required an entirely new EDI generation request

. Now, you can retry outbound file executions individually or in bulk. You can review all the delivery attempts and previous attempts for a given EDI generation request in Core.Stedi Core

 is an event-driven EDI system that does most of the heavy lifting for EDI integrations. Core can validate, parse, and generate EDI for any trading partner and provides complete visibility into your real-time transaction data.

EDI Guide Catalog adds guides for fifteen new brands

We are excited to announce the addition of guides for the following brands to our public catalog:

The EDI Guide Catalog is an open directory of our most-requested public Stedi guides, interactive EDI specifications that let you instantly validate X12 EDI documents.

Define a scheduler for Stedi functions

You can now define a scheduler to automatically invoke Stedi Functions

.Quickly set up a basic scheduler in the Functions UI that runs your function after a specific number of minutes, hours, or days. You can also define an advanced scheduler with custom expressions.

  • Use rate expressions to invoke a function at regular intervals, such as every fifteen minutes.

  • Use cron expressions when you want to invoke a function periodically at a specific time, such as at 8:00 AM (UTC+0) every first day of the month.

Functions is a compute service that lets you run code without managing servers. You can use functions to respond to Stedi Core events, integrate Stedi with external systems, and define functionality to fulfill any EDI integration requirement.
