The Department of Defense (DoD) has emphasized Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) since 1988 when the Deputy Secretary of Defense issued a policy directive that EDI was to become 'the way of doing business' for DoD in the future. The focus of this research is on how private industry is implementing EDI, and specifically how EDI is being used in the procurement and acquisitions environment. The results from a survey of private industry showed that (1) EDI use will continue to grow in the procurement environment and that most impediments to EDI will be resolved with time and experience; (2) EDI must be adopted by the critical mass before the full benefits and savings will be recognized by DoD and industry; (3) top level management support and a detailed, well thought out strategic EDI plan are mandatory for successful implementation of EDI; and (4) the transaction sets currently being used by private industry for procurements and acquisitions limit DoD EDI opportunities for large purchases. Recognizing these conclusions, recommendations to DoD are then presented ... Electronic Data Interchange(EDI).

This chapter explains the purpose of the convention, the scope the guidance, and provides an explanation of how to use the convention. The convention provides general guidance on the implementation of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 electronic data interchange (EDI) standards within automated information systems (AIS) and information interchange procedures that require the collection, reporting, and/ or exchange of data needed to perform defense missions.

Electronic data interchange is the computer-to-computer exchange of routine digital business information in an agreed upon standard. It is commonplace in many private companies and promises to become the preferred method for conducting all business in the future. With the appropriate computer hardware, software, and communications, businesses can eliminate the tedious flow of paper purchase orders, invoices, shipping forms, technical specifications, and other documents and replace them with their electronic equivalents. These guidelines provide general guidance on the implementation of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 electronic data interchange (EDI) standards within automated information system (AIS) and information interchange procedures that require the collections, reporting, and/or exchange of data needed to perform Defense missions. The guidance is provided for two components. First, it may be used by organizational elements of the DoD community. It may also be useful to organizations external to DoD that exchange data with the DoD community in the course of their business relationships. Many of these organizations also engage in the planning, development, test and evaluation, standardization, implementation and/or maintenance of ANSI ASC X12 standards in automated system applications and associated information interchange procedures.

Organizations have traditionally relied on paper to conduct business transactions. Although proven to be an effective and convenient medium for this purpose, paper may no longer be the most efficient. Advances in computers, communication, and electronic technology have provided alternatives to this traditional way of conducting business transactions. One such concept is Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which allows information to be processed faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost than similar manual, paper-based, processing systems. This thesis examines the application of EDI to Defense transportation operations and includes a discussion of data format standards, hardware, software, and communications requirements. The Defense transportation EDI operating concepts involve the linking of carriers, MTMC, defense shipping activities, and DoD finance centers, which allows the electronic exchange of business data such as Government bills of lading, freight rate tenders, and carrier payment information. EDI involves more than simply automating existing business documents and processes; when properly implemented, EDI is a catalyst for streamlining inefficient, redundant, and outdated business practices.

This document establishes a baseline of DoD's conventions for implementing the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 uniform standard for the electronic interchange of business transaction. The DoD transaction set conventions are defined. It includes the instructions for implementing the control structure and definitions of the usage indicators and applicable codes. In addition to the communication control structure, the EDI structure provides the standards user with multiple levels of control to ensure data integrity. It does so by using header and trailer control segments designed to identify uniquely the start and end of the interchange functional groups and transaction sets.
