FAQ

X12 EDI questions

What is ANSI ASC X12 EDI?

ANSI ASC X12 is the dominant EDI standard in North America, defining over 300 transaction sets — numbered documents like the 850 Purchase Order, 856 Ship Notice, and 810 Invoice — that trading partners exchange to automate ordering, shipping, invoicing, and logistics. Stacksync currently documents 61 X12 transaction sets used by 822 trading partners on its network.

Which X12 transaction sets do retailers require most often?

The core retail flow is the order-to-cash chain: 850 Purchase Order in, 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment and 856 Advance Ship Notice out, then the 810 Invoice. Logistics providers add the 204 Load Tender, 214 Shipment Status, and 210 Freight Invoice; warehouses use the 940 Warehouse Shipping Order and 945 Shipping Advice.

How does X12 differ from EDIFACT?

X12 is the North American standard with numeric document codes (850, 810); UN/EDIFACT is the international standard with alphabetic codes (ORDERS, INVOIC, DESADV). Many global trading partners require EDIFACT for European operations and X12 for North America. Stacksync maps both standards to your ERP with the same pipeline.
