What is an EDI 832?

An EDI 832 is a catalog price file and is used to request or provide prices and product information of goods electronically. It replaces a paper catalog and includes:

• Seller name and contact information
• Terms of sale
• Discount
• Physical Details including packaging
• Pricing information

How do I send/receive an EDI 832?

It is rather simple for a system to send/receive EDI 832s. For the most part, the transmitting is done through the Internet or Value Added Network (VAN). To keep EDI costs affordable, today most EDI transmission is done through the internet using AS2 or secure FTP- eliminating the need for an expensive VAN. The file is kept secure using encryption to keep the data safe.
