Best way to receive EDI orders / send EDI invoices through X400 protocol?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Dear all,

Our customer uses NAV 2016 and needs to communicate (EDI) with a customer using the X400 protocol.

What's the best way to realize this? Converter software, using a partner for data transfer or ?????

Kr.,

Dennis

    Start with these pdfs: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-F.400-199906-I/en

    We had this experience once and it was painful. Request samples of files from you partner. Ask questions here if any, will be glad to assist. Good luck :-).

    I would like to develop it in NAV 2016 myself, but since the X400 protocol is very old I can't find the requirements/specifications needed for the development!

    X.400 protocol is old and a heavy one, however I do not see a reason why it cannot be developed in NAV 2016 itself. Just make a development for transferring information using this protocol.

    Another option is to automatically convert X.400 data into more convenient format using some on-line or off-line tools (you can google for those), so that in total the development in NAV would be less expensive.

    I would personally go for the first option as I think you would not gain significant benefit.
