DOCUMENT VALIDATION

EDI validation.
Find the issue. Define the next step.

Plan EDI validation around document structure, partner rules and business checks so exceptions reach the team that can resolve them.

01 / THE WORK, MADE CLEAR

An error message needs an owner.

A missing required value, an invalid item reference and a duplicate document are different problems. An effective validation workflow identifies the condition, preserves the document context and makes the next action clear. Discuss the checks and exception behavior your implementation requires.

01
Check structure
Understand whether the message can be interpreted.
02
Check business context
Compare required identifiers, units and references with the destination requirements.
03
Assign a response
Identify the person or process responsible for correcting the issue.

02 / THE CONNECTION THAT MATTERS

Separate three kinds of validation.

Separate three kinds of validation.
Context	What matters	The handoff
Structure	Can the document be read?	Integration team
Partner rules	Does it follow the agreed implementation?	Partner contact
Business rules	Can the receiving system use it?	Operations owner

Colleagues reviewing the information behind a business workflow — Make the information useful.

03 / BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Test the difficult documents as well.

A clean sample shows the happy path. Include an unknown item, a missing reference and a repeated submission in your evaluation. Define whether each case should be rejected, held for review or corrected through an approved process, then verify the resulting behavior.

A CLEARER PICTURE

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Is validation a compliance certification?

No. Validation checks agreed document and business conditions. It is not an industry certification or a guarantee of regulatory compliance.

Can all errors be fixed automatically?

Some issues require a business decision or a corrected document from the sender. Agree the available checks and response workflow during implementation.
