What Is the EDI 251?
The EDI 251 Pricing Support is a standard X12 transaction set used in electronic data interchange between trading partners. It automates the exchange of pricing support data, reducing manual processing and improving accuracy across the supply chain.
Key Data Elements
The EDI 251 contains structured segments and data elements that communicate critical business information:
- Transaction set header and control numbers for tracking and acknowledgment.
- Party identification segments specifying sender, receiver, and intermediaries.
- Date/time references for transaction timing and deadlines.
- Business-specific data fields unique to the pricing support process.
- Transaction set trailer with segment counts for validation.
