Aldi UK EDI overview
Aldi UK EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between Aldi UK and businesses working in UK discount-supermarket and distribution-centre supply. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on keeping order, fulfilment and finance data aligned.
A practical Aldi UK integration should connect the agreed document set with the systems that process it. XEDI maps the agreed EANCOM or TRADACOMS messages into ERP, warehouse, accounting or API workflows, while validation and alerts help teams deal with exceptions before they affect delivery or payment.
Every document validated before it moves
XEDI checks each Aldi UK order, despatch advice and invoice against the required format, so errors are caught before they reach your systems.
