EDIFACT ORDERS
What is an EDI ORDERS Specification?
EDI ORDERS is an EDIFACT EDI message used to place a purchase order.
How is ORDERS Used?
UN-EDIFACT is the de facto international (non-U.S.) EDI standard used to place standard EDI purchase orders. Retailers, purchasers, distributors, warehouses, and others use the ORDERS document to specify details for goods/services ordered.
