Connect Edifact and Infor

Connecting Edifact and Infor could allow structured electronic data interchange between the two systems. This could support the automated exchange of business documents such as purchase orders or invoices, reducing manual entry and supporting more efficient transaction processing. Data mapping, transformation, and secure transfer protocols would need to be addressed as part of the integration project.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Edifact and Infor around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Edifact and Infor?

A company that operates both Edifact and Infor systems could benefit from connecting these platforms to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same information in each system, increasing the risk of errors, omissions, and inconsistencies. This manual process can result in records drifting apart over time, which could lead to decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data. For example, if order or inventory information is updated in one system but not the other, operational planning and customer service could be affected. When systems like Edifact, which is widely known for electronic data interchange (EDI), and Infor, which provides enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, are connected, the types of data that could be exchanged include purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, product catalogues, and inventory updates. The actual data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system exposes through its API and would need to be determined for each specific situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Edifact and Infor make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
