EDI Specifications

Version

Currently, UPDS supports the 004010 and newer versions of the ANSI X12 standards to exchange EDI data.

Access

UPDS has its own Value Added Network (VAN); Transentric, which has a direct connection to all the commercial VANs (GEIS, AT&T, Railinc, Kleinschmidt and 20+ other third-party exchanges.) UPDS also offers FTP options. The carrier is responsible for all VAN charges.

Envelope Control Information

UPDS uses the ISA/IEA segments as the interchange envelope that marks the beginning and the end of a transmission.
