FedEx EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)
Started: 4/30/2023
Duration: 150 months
I’m a FedEx EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) enthusiast who’s honed hands-on skills integrating shipping data—even in casual, home-lab scenarios—to streamline order fulfillment and logistics.
- EDI Mapping & Translation: Work with ANSI X12 transaction sets (e.g., 210 Freight Invoice, 214 Shipment Status) to map FedEx file formats into business-friendly datasets.
- Integration with ERP/WMS: Connect EDI feeds to systems like SAP, Oracle, or custom inventory apps—ensuring shipment notifications and labels flow automatically.
- AS2 & VAN Communication: Configure secure AS2 endpoints or VAN connections for exchanging EDI documents with FedEx servers.
- Validation & Testing: Use tools like EDI Notepad or Bots to validate ISA/GS envelopes, test scenarios, and catch formatting errors before going live.
- Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement simple scripts or scheduled checks to flag failed transmissions, handle acknowledgments (997s), and alert stakeholders.
- Partner Onboarding Basics: Set up FedEx identifiers (GLN, FEDEX MID), qualifiers, and trading partner profiles to jump-start EDI exchanges.
- Light Automation: Leverage PowerShell or shell scripts to automate file drops, archival, and logging—keeping workflows tidy and traceable.
