x12port's EDIFACT Translation Add-On converts UN/EDIFACT messages to X12 and back — so you can exchange EDI with European and global trading partners without running a second platform.
Join the Waitlist How It WorksThe add-on handles the most common UN/EDIFACT D96A and D01B message types used in retail, manufacturing, and logistics.
Additional message types available on request. Full bidirectional mapping — EDIFACT → X12 and X12 → EDIFACT.
Convert EDIFACT → X12 for inbound messages from global partners, and X12 → EDIFACT for outbound — all within your existing x12port account.
EDIFACT message segments appear natively in the Visual Mapping GUI. Map EDIFACT fields to X12 and your internal formats using the same drag-and-drop interface.
Your existing inbound endpoints (AS2, SFTP, API) automatically detect EDIFACT envelopes and route them through the translation engine before processing.
Translated EDIFACT transactions appear in your transaction feed alongside X12 — with their original message type, translated equivalent, and full audit trail.
Both the original EDIFACT envelope and the translated X12 document are stored in your Document Vault, downloadable in either format.
Trading partner profiles gain an EDIFACT interchange header section. Set your partner's UNB identifiers alongside their ISA/GS envelope — both managed in one place.
The translation engine sits between your endpoints and your transaction feed. It's invisible to you and transparent to your trading partners.
Your European or global partner posts an ORDERS, INVOIC, or DESADV to your x12port inbound endpoint — AS2, SFTP, or API.
x12port detects the UNB interchange header and routes the document to the EDIFACT translation engine automatically — no configuration needed per message.
The engine maps EDIFACT segments to their X12 equivalents using your saved field mappings, partner-specific rules, and the standard message map.
The translated X12 document drops into your transaction feed, document vault, and any connected Flow Routes — as if your partner sent X12 natively.
US importers and exporters whose overseas suppliers and customers use EDIFACT — common across European retail, fashion, and consumer goods.
European OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers often mandate EDIFACT. US parts manufacturers supplying foreign plants need bidirectional translation to comply.
International freight forwarders and 3PLs managing cross-border shipments with carriers that use IFTMIN and IFTSTA instead of 204 and 214.
Medical device manufacturers and pharma companies supplying European markets where EDIFACT is the mandated standard for order and invoice exchange.
Developers building multi-tenant EDI platforms for clients who serve both North American (X12) and international (EDIFACT) trading networks.
Accounts payable teams at multinationals processing INVOIC and REMADV from European subsidiaries and suppliers — alongside domestic 810 and 820 workflows.
Adds to any x12port plan. No separate account. No per-message fees. One flat monthly rate covers all EDIFACT message types and unlimited translation volume within your plan's transaction limit.
