EDI Inspector 'Format' option now prompts auto-adjustments for malformed ISA header

Jan 26, 2023

Formatting a malformed EDI file can be painful, especially if you are new to EDI or when you are troubleshooting a problem. This is why we originally introduced the 'Format' option on the EDI Inspector to make EDI content easier to navigate.

We noticed that EDI samples enclosed in PDF implementation guides almost always have incorrect whitespace padding within the ISA header. A customer needs to manually correct these to get to a valid EDI even if the rest of the EDI document is valid. Starting today, the format action detects the whitespace issues within the ISA header, and recommends one-click fixes to quickly get to a valid EDI. Try it out on a sample guide today.
