About This Tool

This tool validates EDIFACT messages against a chosen standard (e.g., D96A, D97A). It accepts raw messages via paste or file upload. It checks header segments (UNA/UNB), control counts, segment tags, and data element presence and formats. It also enforces character set rules and validates message types.

The core engine tokenizes segments using the segment terminator and data element separator, then applies version-specific rules and cross-segment constraints. For each issue, it reports the segment tag, element position, and a suggested fix. Optional features include multi-version support, batch validation, and exportable reports.

Users include EDI engineers, logistics integrators, and ERP teams who prepare or audit EDIFACT exchanges. The tool helps ensure compliance with partner requirements and reduces reject rates in trading partner ecosystems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

Which EDIFACT versions are supported?

Supported versions include D96A and D97A; the validator uses the selected release to enforce message-type specific content, segment presence, and data element formats. If a message contains an unknown version, a dedicated error is produced.

How are errors reported?

Errors are reported with type (syntax, missing element, invalid value), the affected segment, element position, and the recommended fix. Warnings highlight non-mandatory deviations. The report supports per-message and batch summaries.

Can I validate multiple messages in one file?

Yes, batch validation processes each EDIFACT message separately within the file. The summary includes counts of errors and warnings per message, plus a consolidated total.

Is business-rule validation included?

The tool covers syntax and mandatory data element checks by default. Optional business-rule validations can be configured to enforce partner-specific constraints, but full enterprise-wide rules are not guaranteed by default.
