EDI Notepad features several viewing modes, syntax validation for all EDI standards and versions, edit tools to edit or build EDI documents, document delivery capabilities, and even lets you generate functional acknowledgments.

Intuitive Viewing Modes

EDI is not a visually friendly data format. Distracting delimiters and ambiguously named segments make it difficult to read. EDI Notepad's HTML rendering signficantly improves readability by translating the native EDI into attractive business documents with data descriptions and headings. In addition to its HTML view, EDI Notepad also has structured EDI, text, and hex views.

Syntax Validation

A missing element or out-of-place character can cause an entire EDI transaction to be rejected. In EDI Notepad, the offending error is immediately identified with a visual highlight and, if desired, a detailed error report. Once the error is found, it's easily corrected using EDI Notepad's edit tools.

Functional Acknowledgment Generation

EDI Notepad can generate and send compliant functional acknowledgments for any EDI envelopes opened in its interface. Because of this capability, companies who only need to generate acknowledgments in response to their trading partner's arriving EDI documents could potentially use EDI Notepad as their sole EDI solution.

System Requirements

To install EDI Notepad, you need an IBM-compatible system running Windows XP or above with 256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended) and 50 MB of free disk space. EDI Notepad can be uninstalled using Microsoft Windows' Add or Remove Programs tool.
