In practice

OTTO Group EDI overview

OTTO Group EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between OTTO Group and businesses working in European marketplace and ecommerce supply. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on making document exceptions visible to ecommerce operations teams.

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.
