About

This article instructs users about features designed to process EDI files. Grooper can do the the following things with EDI files:

Create a Data Model from an X12 EDI schema using Grooper's Schema Importer.
Collect data from an EDI file using the "EDI File - Load Data" command.

FYI

Grooper's EDI integration was born from a necessity for Grooper to efficiently collect data from medical EDI files.

At the time of writing this article Grooper supports the following EDI schemas:

X12 835
X12 837 Dental
X12 837 Institutional
X12 837 Professional
