How It Works
EDI mapping that starts halfway done
Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you get a real working field map for each transaction set — built around what 80% of trading partners actually send and expect.
1
Pick your industry
Open the Template Library inside your x12port account and filter by your vertical — retail, logistics, manufacturing, and more.
2
Import the template
One click adds the full field map — source elements, target fields, and pre-configured data transforms — to your Visual Mapper.
3
Customize what you need
Every trading partner is slightly different. Adjust the fields that vary, add partner-specific logic, and save your finished map.
4
Attach and go live
Link the map to a trading partner, run a test transaction, and activate. Most partners go live the same day.
