Can Microsoft Generate EDI 834 File?

Question

Hi, I'm new to this community so please advise with details.

What is the preferred tool or set of tools needed to produce an EDI 834 file? We have azure, but i'm not sure what product of Microsoft is able to create these files

Thanx,

Sharon

Hi Sharon,

You can use Azure Logic Apps with the Enterprise Integration Pack to create 834 documents. You will need to set up your trading partner(s), schema(s), map(s), etc. Please see article below:

You can download Azure BizTalk Services SDK which has XSD templates (including 834) to use as starting part.

Please note, depending on your requirements and experience/knowledge, implementing EDI is non-trivial. I've not worked with 834 and I don't know your trading partner specifications/requirements are, so it is difficult for me to say how much effort will be required. If your needs are basic it may be better to go with a web-based manual-entry integration option instead.

Thanks.
