EDI Vendors who offer software will usually have one version that allows you to write your own EDI maps. There are other EDI companies who will have canned maps, or templates that can usually be modified to your own specifications. Each EDI Business need has to be evaluated to see if the costs of maps or mapping services are worth it for your company. If you have a large number of Trading Partners, you may benefit financially from authoring your own maps whenever a new client or vendor gets brought on board. If you have a large amount of transaction volume, you should also avoid any EDI providers that charge you an additional fee for using their software per translation. Look for ‘Unlimited EDI Translation' Software at EDI Vendors like ProEDI.
