Overview

Getting started with Oracle Cloud EDI

XEDI connects Oracle Cloud applications with trading partner EDI, so orders, despatch advice and invoices move between your Oracle estate and your partners whichever Oracle products you run and whichever generation you are on.

One managed platform, no custom code

XEDI maps Oracle Cloud to your trading partners and validates every document, so data flows straight into the systems your teams already use.

"Oracle Cloud" covers several different things

Oracle Cloud is not one product. It spans the Fusion applications for ERP and supply chain, older E-Business Suite estates lifted into Oracle's infrastructure, and the infrastructure itself used as somewhere to run and store. Each of those reaches EDI differently, and a plan drawn against the wrong one is discovered at integration testing.

So the first thing we settle is which you have, and often the answer is more than one at once. An enterprise part way through a migration is a common shape here, and it is workable as long as the plan reflects it.

Migrating between Oracle generations without moving every partner

The expensive version of a migration is the one where every trading partner arrangement moves with it, because each connection was built against the estate rather than against a boundary. Change the estate and you renegotiate the lot.

Keeping the partner-specific half with us reduces that to one interface. Your partners keep receiving exactly what they expect throughout, the connection on our side is unchanged, and the migration becomes a question about how we reach your systems rather than about your trading relationships.

What your team sees day to day

You get an EDI mailbox and a portal that works like an inbox, which means trading continues normally during a migration rather than being held hostage by it.

Each document derives from the one before: the order becomes the despatch advice, amended where the delivery differs, with SSCC labels for the pallets, and becomes the invoice on delivery, whose arrival is confirmed in the dashboard.

The integration sits over that workflow and automates it against whichever Oracle products carry the records. Smaller operations run the portal alone; our API suits enterprises needing finer granularity, which an Oracle estate often does; the integration is the middle.

Documents you can exchange

  • Purchase orders landing against Oracle order management
  • Order acknowledgements returned to trading partners
  • Despatch advice and ASN messages from Oracle shipments
  • Invoices from Oracle receivables or payables flows
  • Catalogue and inventory data where a partner requires it
Who it's for

Built for Oracle Cloud teams

Whoever owns Oracle Cloud in your business, XEDI keeps EDI accurate and hands-off.

  • Oracle applications and integration teams
  • Enterprises mid-migration between Oracle generations
  • Supply chain and fulfilment teams
  • Finance teams running receivables or payables automation
  • Businesses running more than one Oracle product
Document flows

Oracle Cloud EDI document types

Which Oracle product carries each of these depends on your estate, which is established before anything is built.

Document What it carries Direction
Purchase orders Partner demand landing against whichever Oracle product carries order management in your estate. Partner to Oracle
Order acknowledgements Confirmation of what will be supplied, including amendments and lines that cannot be met. Oracle to partner
Advanced shipping notices Pack detail raised from an Oracle shipment, to carton or pallet level where the partner requires it. Oracle to partner
Invoices Raised from receivables, referenced to the order and delivery so the partner can match them. Oracle to partner
Supplier invoices Inbound invoices for matching, where the Oracle estate is on the buying side. Partner to Oracle
Catalogue and inventory data Item, pack and stock data published to partners that plan against your figures. Oracle to partner

How to connect Oracle Cloud with EDI using XEDI

An Oracle Cloud build starts with establishing what you actually run, because the routes differ by product and generation. The sequence below is what onboarding looks like from your side.

  1. 01

    We establish which Oracle products and generation are actually in play, because that decides every route that follows.

  2. 02

    We build the mapping between each partner's documents and the Oracle objects those products expose.

  3. 03

    We configure validation so a document is checked against the partner's rules before it reaches Oracle.

  4. 04

    We prove each flow against what the partner requires and against how your Oracle estate is configured.

  5. 05

    You get a connection built against the Oracle you have, and we keep it right as you move between products or generations.

Detail

Everything about Oracle Cloud EDI

Common requirements
  • Which Oracle products and generation you run
  • Business unit and organisation structure
  • Customer, supplier and location records
  • Item and pack data
  • The trading partners you deal with, or plan to
What we need from you to build it

Only what we cannot hold for you. Partner requirements are already ours; what we need is an accurate picture of your Oracle estate.

Which Oracle you run
The products and generation in play, including anything mid-migration, since this determines every route that follows.
Organisation structure
Business units, inventory organisations and legal entities each partner trades against, because routing and defaulting follow them.
Customer and location records
Partners mapped to the right customer or supplier records, with delivery points resolvable to GLNs.
Item and pack data
GTINs at each packaging level and the unit partners order in, against how items are held.
Which partners you deal with
The partners in scope now and next. Their requirements are already ours.
Why suppliers choose XEDI for Oracle Cloud
  • The partners in question are usually connected already, which is what lets trading continue through an Oracle migration.
  • A migration between Oracle generations becomes one interface change rather than a renegotiation with every trading partner.
  • The build is scoped against the Oracle products you actually run, including estates running more than one at once.
  • Partners keep receiving exactly what they expect while your side changes underneath.
  • A new partner is our work, not another project competing with your Oracle roadmap.
  • If a partner raises a problem, they raise it with us, and we resolve it rather than it landing with your team.
Which Oracle products does this cover?

The Fusion applications for ERP and supply chain, E-Business Suite estates running in Oracle's cloud, and infrastructure used to host or store. Which of those applies is established at the start, because the routes differ.

What happens to our EDI during an Oracle migration?

Trading continues. Partner-specific requirements sit with us rather than inside the estate, so partners keep receiving what they expect and the migration becomes a question about how we reach your systems.

Can you connect to more than one Oracle product at once?

Yes, and enterprises part way through a migration are a common case. Documents are routed to whichever product carries the relevant records.
