123 EDI offers several interfaces that merge into various systems. The common characteristics of these interfaces are easiness to use, functionality, tight integration, and redundant auditing.
- Interfaces are easy to use, typically requiring only 1 button for data exchange and very little configuration
- Includes real-time integration when supported by other systems for immediate feedback and transaction validation
- Cross-reference tables have been devised for the purpose of interface stability, flexibility and, in some cases, to allow for the correction of deficient data received from trading partners
- Complements gaps from other system by including related information from existing EDI documents during data exchange
- Strong generic and specific auditing during data exchange to guaranty document integrity
- Use of a communications manager to handle VAN or direct connections (typically via an Internet protocol) for exchanging data
