About
Bethlehem EDI
Simply
stated, EDI is the transmission, computer-to-computer, of
common business transactions between two companies.
Transactions such as purchase orders, material
releases, shipping notices and payment remittance are
communicated electronically.
Transmission of information of this type has been
around, in one form or another, for a good many years.
What makes Bethlehem EDI standards important
is that these systems provide a “common denominator” of
format language.
Bethlehem
was a pioneer in the development of the X12 standards.
With the development and endorsement of the X12
formats, Bethlehem ‘s EDI partners enjoy the advantage of
a program that can be applied to many disciplines, rather
than traditional, stand-alone, single product line/service.
Once
a customer becomes a partner with Bethlehem in using EDI for
various transactions, the same format can be applied to
products and services with other supplier/customers of
everything form raw materials to finished goods.
All at compounding savings of time and money.
