# EDI

> Exchange orders, invoices, and shipping documents with your trading partners over EDI.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is how trading partners exchange business documents — purchase orders, order confirmations, invoices, and shipping notices — in a structured format. The EDI connection lets your Agents work with those documents in Duvo. The Duvo team sets the connection up with your EDI provider, so your team doesn't take on the document mapping or transport.

## Setup

<Info>EDI is set up by the Duvo team — there is no self-serve connect flow.</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the EDI connection" icon="plug">
    Go to the [Connections page](https://app.duvo.ai/integrations) and open **EDI** under Duvo Business Connections.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request setup" icon="send">
    Select **Request setup**. The Duvo team is notified and will get in touch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Agree the details" icon="handshake">
    We confirm the trading partners, document types, and the transport your EDI provider uses, then enable the connection for your team.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Capabilities

* **Exchange trading partner documents** — Work with orders, order confirmations, invoices, and shipping notices from your partners.
* **Use your existing EDI provider** — Duvo connects to the EDI setup you already run, so partner agreements stay in place.
* **Agent-driven handling** — Agents pick up incoming documents and act on them as part of a Run.

## Key Benefits

* **No rekeying** — Agents process partner documents as they arrive instead of someone entering them by hand.
* **Duvo handles the setup** — Mapping and transport are configured for you.
* **Fits your existing process** — Works alongside the ERP and document Connections your Agents already use.
