ASC X12

ASC X12 refers to a set of standards used for electronic data interchange (EDI) between businesses, allowing them to exchange documents like invoices, purchase orders, and shipping notices in a structured, standardized format. Developed by the Accredited Standards Committee X12, it ensures that different computer systems can understand and process these documents efficiently. This standardization reduces errors, increases speed, and streamlines communication, making it easier for companies to conduct business electronically without relying on paper documents or manual entry.
