EDI implementation guides create from an uploaded X12 file

Can stedi create EDI implementation guides from an uploaded X12 file?
-
Stedi does not support creating an EDI Implementation guide from an uploaded X12 sample file, however it is on our roadmap to do this.
There is a fast way of doing this, though. Some steps I usually take if I am looking to build a Guide from a sample only:
- Create a guide with the right version & txn set
- Go to EDI Inspector tab, drop in the file
- Look at the first error, and fix it in the guide builder (edit tab)
- Fix and repeat until the guide parses the file and returns "valid"
For a simple EDI file, this process takes only 15-20 minutes. More complex ones could take up to an hour. Don't forget to add your qualifier codes for the allowed values!
Also, Stedi will build guides for customers - for free - and add them to the catalog. If you want to request a guide to be built for you, feel free to drop us a note: https://www.stedi.com/products/guides/accelerator
