AWS B2B Data Interchange now supports outbound EDI transformation, enabling you to generate X12 EDI documents from JSON or XML data inputs. This new capability adds to B2B Data Interchange’s existing support for transforming inbound EDI documents and automatically generating EDI acknowledgements. With the ability to transform and generate X12 EDI documents up to 150 MB, you can now automate your bidirectional EDI workflows at scale on AWS.
The introduction of outbound EDI transformation establishes B2B Data Interchange as a comprehensive EDI service for conducting end-to-end transactions with your business partners. For example, healthcare payers can now process claims with claim payments, suppliers can confirm purchase orders with invoices, and logistics providers can respond to shipment requests with status notifications. B2B Data Interchange monitors specified prefixes in Amazon S3 to automatically process inbound and outbound EDI. Each outbound EDI document generated emits an Amazon EventBridge event which can be used to automatically send the documents to your business partners using AWS Transfer Family’s SFTP and AS2 capabilities, or any other EDI connectivity solution.
Support for generating outbound X12 EDI is available in all AWS Regions where AWS B2B Data Interchange is available. To get started with building and running bidirectional, event-driven EDI workflows on B2B Data Interchange, take the self-paced workshop or deploy the CloudFormation template.
