Government Industry
In 1992, the federal government embraced EDI. In fact, many government agencies mandated it as part of the procurement process. Today, government contractors are still using EDI solutions, not only for creating EDI quotations, but also to exchange business documents such as purchase orders and invoices with government agencies.
Some of the common EDI transactions being exchanged within the government contracting industry are listed next. Your government agency trading partner may only require some of the transactions listed here or may require additional ones.
