EDI Specifications

This section is designed for customers wishing to send and receive information from their warehouse.


The EDI module was designed for use with Vision warehousing to allows complete electronic trading with customers.

The current processes most customers offer is the exchange of electronic files between systems, the format of these is in XML format.

Whilst API is available we still have a number of customers sending XML files via email, however we will not support sending via email beyond 31/12/2025

API (HTTP Post)

The API is a RESTful web service. Queries are passed via URLs constructed and submitted using the HTTP protocol (specifically the GET method), just like a web page. Results can be returned XML

Not all warehouses have this facility enabled as it is not part of the standard EDI application.

You can not receive the outbound files alone, you need to send through the API to receive through the API.
