In practice

Chronopost EDI overview

Chronopost EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between Chronopost and businesses working in European parcel and final-mile delivery. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on giving operations teams a clearer view of document exceptions.

A practical Chronopost integration should keep account, service and invoice data aligned. XEDI maps the agreed Agreed EDI format 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 Chronopost order, despatch advice and invoice against the required format, so errors are caught before they reach your systems.
