Connect Edifact and Sage 300

Connecting Edifact and Sage 300 for a company could enable the transfer of standardized business documents, such as purchase orders or invoices, directly into the Sage 300 accounting and ERP platform. This could reduce manual entry, improve data accuracy, and support more efficient financial and supply chain operations by automating document exchange between trading partners and internal systems.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Edifact and Sage 300 around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Edifact and Sage 300?

A company operating both Edifact and Sage 300 could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and reliable data exchange. Without a connection, staff may need to manually re-enter information from one system into the other, which introduces the risk of mistakes, creates duplicated effort, and can lead to misaligned records. Over time, this manual process could result in discrepancies between the two systems, where changes in one system are not reflected in the other, potentially causing decisions to be made based on outdated or incomplete information. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of data such as purchase orders, invoices, inventory levels, and customer information, depending on what each system is designed to handle and what information is relevant for the business's operations. For example, Edifact is widely known as a standard for electronic data interchange (EDI), so it could be used to structure and transmit business documents, while Sage 300 is known as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that manages accounting, inventory, and operations data. The types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the needs of the business and the capabilities of each system. Ultimately, what 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 Sage 300 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.
