Electronic Data Interchange

Electronic Data Interchange – EDI is the communication of electronic documents directly from a computer in one entity to a computer in another entity.

The advantages of using EDI are:

  1. Reduced clerical errors
  2. Increased speed
  3. Elimination of repetitive clerical tasks
  4. Elimination of document preparation, processing, filing, and mailing costs

An audit trail allows for the tracing of a transaction from initiation to disposition. One key element of an audit trail in transactions involving auditing electronic data interchange (EDI) is the activity log.
