INSDES Instruction to despatch (D01B)
This is the standard EANCOM D01B syntax 3 spec, with 11 loops and 34 segment positions, as OpenEDI JSON, an ediFabric C# template and an ediFabric Native model. To change it for a trading partner, customize it in the EDI Spec Builder.
Use the INSDES spec in your code
ediFabric .NET
Add the C# template and its common files to your project, or reference the template NuGet package, and read INSDES files into TSINSDES objects. See ediFabric .NET.
ediFabric Native
Native supports X12 today, and EANCOM is coming. When it's available, map version D01B to this Native model with set_map to parse INSDES files to JSON from Python, Java, C or C#. See ediFabric Native.
OpenEDI
Select Customize in Spec Builder to copy the spec under your own name, change it for your partner, and parse files against it in EdiNation, ediFabric Native or ediFabric Cloud. Read about OpenEDI.
Generate INSDES classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C
The OpenEDI file describes each INSDES as JSON. To work with INSDES data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TSINSDES. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.
