Resolve EDI issues with the document in context
An EDI issue may start with delivery, validation, mapping, master data, or the receiving application. A useful investigation identifies the failed stage and the evidence needed to choose the next action.
Discuss an EDI workflowDistinguish the failure before you act
Connection issue. Check whether the sender reached the expected endpoint and whether a response was returned.
Document issue. Check whether the document meets the agreed structure and partner rules.
Data issue. Check whether required identifiers and reference values match the expected records.
Business issue. Check whether the receiving application accepted the request and produced the expected business result.
Give each issue a responsible owner
Route a missing master data value to its owner. Route a mapping issue to the integration team. Route a partner requirement question to the contact who can confirm the rule. Keep the transaction reference and processing result with the request.
Recover without losing the history
Before resending, determine whether the receiving system already created a record. Use the agreed recovery process and verify the result. Preserve the relationship between the original attempt, the correction, and the final outcome.

Questions
Why can a delivered document still fail? The receiving endpoint may accept the file while a later step rejects its structure, data, or business request. Track delivery and application outcomes separately.
What sample should we provide? Provide a sanitized document, the partner guide, the error returned, and the expected business outcome.
