Many EDI-based business partners use Value Added Networks (VANs) as their primary EDI document exchange engine. You can use Module for EDI with Trading Networks to connect with these VANs. The module provides built-in services that enable VAN connectivity, allowing you to access VANs to retrieve EDI documents from the VAN, deliver EDI documents to the VAN, and obtain reports about EDI documents.

If you need to connect to a VAN other than GXS, ICC.NET, or MCI VANs, you might need to customize the provided service to suit the specific VAN connectivity.
