Connect Edifact and Odoo POS

Connecting Edifact and Odoo POS would involve developing a way for the two systems to exchange data, such as sales transactions or inventory updates. This could allow information from the point of sale to be transferred in a standardized format for further processing, reporting, or integration with other business functions.

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

Why connect Edifact and Odoo POS?

A company operating both Edifact and Odoo POS could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange between their business processes. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and consuming additional time. This manual duplication can lead to records drifting apart, with each system reflecting different versions of the truth. As a result, decisions may be made based on outdated or incomplete data, which can affect inventory management, sales reporting, and customer service. If a connection were established, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the functions of each system. Edifact is widely known as a standard for electronic data interchange, often used for exchanging business documents such as orders, invoices, and shipping notices. Odoo POS is recognized as a point-of-sale application, handling sales transactions, inventory updates, and customer information. Data exchange between these two could involve sales orders, inventory levels, product details, and customer records, supporting more accurate and timely business operations. However, the specific data that can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per 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 Odoo POS 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.
