What Is EDI Validation?

Understanding EDI Validation

EDI Validation ensures electronic documents like POs and invoices follow proper format and business rules—so your B2B transactions are error-free, fast, and compliant.
It verifies that the transmitted data aligns with specific formats, structures, and business logic, reducing the likelihood of errors and enabling seamless B2B communication.
Traditionally, this process has been highly manual and time-consuming which requires manual data mapping, slow test cycles, and human-led error checking.

Challenges with EDI Validation

Manual EDI validation introduces critical inefficiencies that modern businesses can no longer afford.

As transaction volumes grow and trading partner requirements evolve, legacy processes fall short—impacting both speed and accuracy.

Inefficiency

The reliance on human intervention slows down the validation process.

Inconsistency

Different interpretations of guidelines can lead to errors and miscommunications.

Delayed Revenue

Extended validation timelines postpone the initiation of business activities, impacting revenue streams.

Resource Intensive

Significant human resources are required to manage and execute the validation process.

Validation Rules Editor

Easily configure validation logic within your EDI definition using the Rules Editor. Define rules for Data Elements, Standard Segments, or create Custom Rules tailored to your business needs. Changes are saved as part of the main EDI definition.

Validating EDI Documents

Choose how to validate your EDI document before sending: Skip Validation entirely, Validate and block sending if critical errors exist, or Validate and Proceed while acknowledging warnings. Validation results include detailed error messages, field highlights, and direct navigation for faster correction.

Supported Validation Rule Types

EDI Generator offers a robust set of validation rules to ensure your EDI files are complete, compliant, and partner-ready.

Whether you're validating structure, content, or complex logic, our platform has you covered.

Structural Rules

These rules validate the layout and hierarchy of an EDI document based on the transaction set. They ensure required loops and segments are present, follow the correct order, don’t exceed allowed occurrences, and flag any unexpected elements.

EDI Definitions

Data(segment/element) Rules

These rules validate the content of segments and elements, ensuring required fields are present and values meet expected types, lengths, and formats. You can enforce trading partner-specific rules using custom segments or cross-segment logic with JSONPath.

Data Validation Rules

Conditional (Syntax) Rules

These rules check relationships between elements within a segment—like requiring one field if another is present or ensuring at least one of several fields is included. EDI Generator supports standard X12 syntax rules, which can be customized using the Rules Editor.

Elements Configuration

Custom Rules

For advanced validation beyond standard checks, EDI Generator supports custom rules written in NodeJS. These enable complex logic—like conditional field checks, qualifier-value pair evaluation, or multi-segment calculations—ideal for business-specific requirements that standard rules can't cover.
