Questions
- What does it show me?
- The transaction and its name, the document number and dates, every party with its role resolved (BT reads as Bill-to, not BT), the line items with product identifiers, and a segment histogram — what's actually in the file.
- Do I need to know which EDI standard the file is?
- No. It detects X12 vs EDIFACT and the delimiters from the file itself.
- Is anything sent to a server?
- Nothing. It runs in your browser. A trading partner's purchase order never leaves your machine.
