EDI via AS2

Applicability Statement 2 is the secure peer-to-peer, point-to-point communication between two companies over the internet (live data push). It is one of the most widely accepted EDI protocol across industries.

How does AS2 Work?

AS2 connection is established between two computers (a server and a client). AS2 creates an “envelope” in order to transmit data securely using digital certificates and encryption. The selected data is then transmitted between these two systems-one is the sender and the other is the receiver.

Below are the steps to follow to setup an AS2 connection with your trading partners:

1. You start by creating an AS2 certificate for your organization which needs to be self-signed and represents the certificate for your organization (Sender)

2. Create your company information and your AS2 identifier (could be a combination of different numbers, company name, DUNS number etc.) that you’ll share with your trading partner

3. Now give exchange your AS2 identifier, AS2 Certificate and MDN and get your trading partner’s identifier, certificate and MDN

4. Once you receive this information from your trading partner, create their company profile in your system by adding the above information

5. Create a relationship between both the organizations as instructed by the system you are using for AS2

Generally, whenever a file is placed in the outbound folder the AS2 send process will get started. When your partner sends AS2 data to you, it ends up in the inbound folder.
