EDI stands for electronic data interchange. It is the process of exchanging business information electronically between two organizations.

For example, when a customer places an order with a retailer, the retailer will send an EDI order to the supplier. The supplier will then fulfill the order and send an EDI invoice to the retailer. The retailer will then send an EDI payment to the supplier.
