4908 Credit advice (VDA)
This is the standard VDA 4905 to 4927 spec, with 3 loops and 9 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 4908 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 4908 files into TS4908 objects. See ediFabric .NET.
ediFabric Native
Native supports X12 today, and VDA is coming. When it's available, map version VDA to this Native model with set_map to parse 4908 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 4908 classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C
The OpenEDI file describes each 4908 as JSON. To work with 4908 data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TS4908. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.
