In practice

Palletways EDI overview

Palletways EDI is the structured exchange of commercial documents between Palletways and businesses working in UK pallet-network and regional distribution. The agreed document set starts with orders and invoices, with the operational emphasis on keeping depot, customer and finance references consistent.

A practical Palletways integration should preserve network identifiers through order and invoice processing. 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 Palletways order, despatch advice and invoice against the required format, so errors are caught before they reach your systems.
