Data elements are the fundamental units of information used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to define specific details within a transaction. Each data element carries a distinct piece of information, such as invoice numbers, payment terms, or product details, ensuring precision and consistency. In EDI billing, data elements work together to form segments that structure electronic documents. Accurate mapping of data elements enables seamless communication between trading partners. Without properly defined data elements, automated billing systems would lose efficiency, accuracy, and reliability.
