Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electronic data interchange (EDI) is a computer-to-computer exchange of business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and shipment notices between trading partners. It eliminates the need for paper documents and manual data entry, improving efficiency and reducing errors. Quick-response systems, just-in-time transfers, and enterprise resource systems are all related to supply chain management but do not specifically refer to the transfer of business documents. Data warehouses are used for storing large amounts of data for analysis and decision-making.
