ORDERS PURCHASE ORDER MESSAGE (D93A)

This is the standard EANCOM D93A spec, with 51 loops and 156 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.

Loading the spec…

The spec as an OpenAPI 3 schema with x-openedi-* extensions, for ediFabric Native, ediFabric Cloud and the EDI Spec Builder. Download OpenEDI (94 KB) Generate classes

The ediFabric .NET template, class TSORDERS. It needs the common segments, composites and codes of EANCOM D93A, one download for every transaction in the version. Download C# (3 KB) Common files (45 KB)

The intermediary model ediFabric Native loads with set_map. Native supports X12 today, and EANCOM is coming. Download Native (1 KB)

Use the ORDERS 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 ORDERS files into TSORDERS objects. See ediFabric .NET.

ediFabric Native

Native supports X12 today, and EANCOM is coming. When it's available, map version D93A to this Native model with set_map to parse ORDERS 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 ORDERS classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C

The OpenEDI file describes each ORDERS as JSON. To work with ORDERS data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TSORDERS. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.

Python: datamodel-code-generator. Node.js: openapi-typescript. Java, Go, Rust and C: OpenAPI Generator.
