The X12 Snap Pack is a collection of purpose-built Snaps designed to integrate EDI X12 document exchange directly into your SnapLogic pipelines. EDI X12 is the widely adopted standard for the electronic exchange of business documents — including purchase orders, invoices, remittance advices, and shipment notices — between trading partners. Rather than building custom transformation logic or relying on external middleware, you get ready-to-use Snaps that handle the complexity of X12 formatting and parsing out of the box.
What you can do
This Snap Pack enables you to incorporate EDI X12 into any integration workflow with minimal configuration. Convert incoming JSON data into standards-compliant X12 binary streams for transmission to trading partners, or parse inbound X12 documents into JSON for downstream processing. Each Snap is purpose-built for a specific direction of data flow, giving you precise control over how EDI documents enter and exit your pipelines.
Why it matters
EDI X12 remains a foundational standard in industries like retail, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing. Automating the exchange of X12 documents reduces manual handling, improves data accuracy, and accelerates transaction cycles across your supply chain. The X12 Snap Pack removes the need to manage proprietary EDI translators or hand-coded transformations — all within the SnapLogic platform you already use.
This Snap Pack includes the following key features:
- Reads JSON input and formats it as a standards-compliant X12 binary stream for transmission via AS2, FTP, VANs, and other common EDI protocols.
- Parses and validates incoming X12 binary data against the expected transaction set schema, ensuring data integrity before downstream processing.
- Supports a broad range of ASC X12 transaction sets and versions, including X12_820 (Payment Order/Remittance Advice) and X12_835 (Health Care Claim Payment).
- Allows customization of ISA and GS envelope segments and delimiters to meet trading partner specifications.
- Supports combining multiple JSON documents into a single consolidated X12 binary output.
This Snap Pack contains the following Snaps:
- X12 Formatter: Reads incoming JSON document data and formats it as an X12 binary stream. Supports combining multiple documents into a single output and allows customization of envelope segments and delimiters to meet partner requirements.
- X12 Parser: Parses inbound X12 binary data into JSON documents, validating the data against the schema of the specified X12 transaction set (for example, 820-5010 or 270-5010) to ensure structural conformance before processing.
