What Is the EDI 878?
The EDI 878 Product Authorization/De-authorization is a standard X12 transaction set used in electronic data interchange between trading partners. It automates the exchange of product authorization/de-authorization data, reducing manual processing and improving accuracy across the supply chain.
Key Data Elements
The EDI 878 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 product authorization/de-authorization process.
- Transaction set trailer with segment counts for validation.
