Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents in a standard electronic format between businesses. The major benefits are reduced cost, increased processing speed, reduced errors, and improved relationships with trading partners.
EDI has increasingly become a more standard way of processing transactions, and many large retailers have strict compliance requirements with their vendors. Failure to send and receive data according to a retailer’s EDI format and conventions can lead to fines or a termination of the business relationship.
bcFood’s out-of-the-box integration with bcEDI allows your Dynamics environment to seamlessly communicate with your customers and vendors. bcEDI is fully compliant with all major retailers, and has multiple network deployment options.

EDI Integration
Stay compliant with your customers and vendors when you combine bcFood with our bcEDI solution. bcEDI allows you to send and receive data in a consistent, unified manner, enabling you to process transactions quickly and with greater levels of accuracy than ever before.
A hands-off approach – automate your EDI processes to automatically create and update documents in Dynamics, as well as send and receive data between you and your trading partners.
Pre-configured transactions – take advantage of bcEDI’s out-of-the-box templates for the most common EDI activities, including 850s, 810s, 855s, and 856s, and be up and running in no time.
Maintain standards – gain extra confidence that your data will reach your trading partners according to their criteria when you deploy bcEDI on a network such as SPS Commerce or iTrade.
Usage scenario
Automatically generate sales orders in Dynamics from your customers’ inbound 850 documents, then transmit outbound activities such as 856 advance shipment notifications and 810 invoices.
The benefits of the EDI implementation have been significant as we have been able to significantly reduce data entry time.”
