EDIstandardid

EDIstandardid is a label used in electronic data interchange (EDI) systems to identify the specific EDI standard and version used for a data interchange. It typically appears in partner profiles, translation maps, and validation rules, allowing systems to select the correct schema, segment dictionary, and rules for parsing and generating documents.

An EDIstandardid may encode the issuing standard (for example ANSI X12 or EDIFACT) and the release or version (such as 004010 for X12 or D.96A for EDIFACT). It helps ensure that a document exchanged with a trading partner is interpreted consistently and validated against the appropriate structure. In practice, the id is used to route documents, select translation maps, and enforce partner-specific requirements described in EDI agreements.

Common standards referenced by EDIstandardid include ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, each with multiple releases. In X12 contexts, a standard id might look like X12-004010; in EDIFACT contexts, something like EDIFACT-D.96A. Additionally, many exchanges distinguish transaction sets within a standard (for example, 850 for X12 Purchase Order or ORDERS for EDIFACT) alongside the standard id to indicate the document type, though the exact convention varies by system.
