ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 91
ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 91 of 100
EDI is the computer-to-computer exchange of business transaction data over a network according to standard conventions. Standard message formats allow documents such as orders, invoices, shipping notices, and payment information to move between organizations with minimal manual re-entry.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- an OSI-based international e-mail service describes messaging standards, not business-document interchange
- a value-added communication service can carry EDI but is not EDI itself
- transmitting order data describes EOS, a narrower ordering application
Key rule: EDI standardizes electronic business documents across trading partners; EOS is one possible system that uses order information.
