About this Gig
Do you need a clear EDI mapping specification before development begins?
I will analyze your business and technical requirements and create a structured specification showing how data should move between your source system and an X12 or EDIFACT transaction.
Depending on your package, the deliverable may include:
Source-to-target field mappings
Segment and data-element requirements
Mandatory and conditional fields
Business and transformation rules
Code and value translations
Default and fixed values
Validation and exception rules
Mapping assumptions and open questions
Test scenarios and expected results
I support commonly used X12 transactions such as 850, 855, 856, 810, 830, 846, 997 and 180, as well as EDIFACT messages including DESADV.
This service is ideal for new EDI integrations, mapping redesigns, requirement clarification, developer handoff and implementation planning.
Please contact me before ordering if your project includes multiple transaction types, multiple trading partners, complex hierarchies or more fields than your selected package allows.
Map development, platform configuration, deployment and production support are not included, but they may be discussed as a cus

FAQ
What will I receive?
You will receive a structured EDI mapping specification based on your selected package. It may include field mappings, business rules, validations, code translations, assumptions and test scenarios.
Which EDI standards and transactions do you support?
I support multiple X12 and EDIFACT, including but not limited to 850, 855, 856, 810, 830, 846, 997, 180 and DESADV. Contact me about other transaction types.
What information do you need to begin?
Please provide the transaction type and version, source format, target format, sample data, requirements and any applicable implementation or partner guide.
Do I need to provide sample source and target files?
Yes, whenever available. Sample files help me understand the data structure and create accurate mappings. Please use masked or synthetic data where possible.
Can you work without an implementation guide?
Yes, for a general standards-based specification. Trading-partner-specific requirements require the applicable implementation guide or specification.
Does this service include developing the actual EDI map?
No. This gig covers requirements analysis and mapping documentation. Map development, platform configuration, deployment and production support require a separate custom offer.
Can you handle multiple transactions or trading partners?
Yes, but the listed packages cover one transaction type and one primary flow. Please contact me for multiple transactions, directions or trading partners.
What formats can you use for the mapping specification?
I can deliver the specification in Excel, Word or another agreed format, depending on the project requirements and selected package.
Can you review an existing mapping specification?
Yes. I can identify missing requirements, unclear rules, mapping gaps, validation concerns and areas requiring clarification.
Will my data remain confidential?
Yes. Files are used only to complete the order. Please remove or mask confidential, personal or sensitive production data whenever possible.
