QuickBooks & EDI 
EDI Components Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the most common form of communication businesses use to complete B2B transactions.
In order for EDI to work correctly, a Value-Added Network (VAN), like TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, and B2BGateway, is needed to facilitate the translation of data into a readable format that can be exchanged between systems.
While a VAN is necessary for EDI trading to work properly, many businesses also seek an EDI order management system like Acctivate for automating routine tasks, quickening order processes, and managing inventory, fulfillment, and trading partnerships. Acctivate provides your business with the tools necessary for optimizing trading, enhancing transparency, improving accuracy, and developing more profitable relationships with trading partners like Walgreens.
Walgreens EDI
For new suppliers, Walgreens EDI compliance usually insists upon an already established working relationship with a VAN before business begins in order to eliminate unnecessary steps on both ends. Walgreens requires assurance that your VAN is set up before sending purchase orders.
