CONVERT EDI TO XML Overview of EDI to XML Conversion This example shows how Convert to XML can be used to transform EDI files into XML. Either the end result can be used directly, or subsequent processing can be done through XQuery or XSLT. Understanding the Raw EDI data EDI files have a qualifier at the start of each record which determines the record layout.

We can use this with the Match Pattern feature of Convert-to-XML to produce a unique set of elements for the information in each differently-structured row. For our sample, let's use a little EDI document of type, 'Application Control Totals' like this. We include this file (named ) in the 'Convert to XML' folder of the sample project that ships with Stylus Studio®. ISA:00::00::515:01:5:0:U:32123:0:P:. GS:CT:99887731201:1217:128:X:004030 ST:81 BGN:1:20041201 N9:BT:88200001 TRN:1:88200001 AMT:2:10 0000.00 QTY:46:1 SE:7:00128001 GE:1:128 IEA:1:000032123 Since some EDI files don't have line breaks per se, but instead use segment terminators, this sample was wrapped to fit in the browser window at a 60-character margin. But notice that in this example, there is a separator between each record; it is the tilde ' character. And immediately after each tilde is a record-type specifier.

There is also one at the start of the file which defines this as an X12-format EDI file, and tells us just what this separator is. But we don't really need to know all this; we're just giving an idea of one of the many pieces of information that Stylus Studio® can deduce from the input file automatically. Opening the EDI file Now, fire up Convert-to-XML and put this in as the input file, and this is what we see: (click image to enlarge) Note that such settings as 'Line Terminator' and 'Component Separator' have already been deduced from the input file for you.

(Note - please excuse me if I am not using correct terminology. Hopefully I'm still making some sense) Hi there, I work in healthcare, have been asked to convert 837 ANSI claim files into an excel readable format for reporting but am not having any luck using open source clients/tools from the web. When I do, they are either just readers or else the excel file appears to be missing data that the EDI file contains.

Could someone, anyone (!), please provide any input on why converting these claim files is not so. A friend told me something about EDI being in a sort of hierarchical data format, with every value essentially 'tagged' but not exactly sure what that means except that the mapping is confusing the hell out of me. Any input, info, anything is greatly appreciated!!! THank you for reading. I found the easiest solution is to create a program that maps the EDI records to database records for ingestion.

Most of the time, the vendor will have a spec that will have their implementation of the 837. Ask for the spec first. As far as tooling, StupidEdi is a Ruby EDI Library that has helped me in the past, although its pretty slow. There is also x12valid, a python tool that will validate and convert edi files (edi-xml or html). I also updated a vim library at some point for the edi 834 that could be used (just look up vim edi on github).
