What is EDI Transaction Set?
An EDI transaction set is a single standardized business document within the X12 standard, identified by a three-digit number such as 850 (purchase order) or 856 (advance ship notice). Each transaction set specifies exactly which segments and data elements it contains and in what order. A retail EDI program is essentially a required set of these documents the two partners agree to exchange.
