# EDI + Fishbowl Integration — Israel Lopez Consulting

> Full EDI between Fishbowl and your trading partners. X12 and EDIFACT over AS2, mapped straight into Fishbowl orders and fulfillment.

## What we connect

We build full EDI capability between Fishbowl and your trading partners. ILC supports both the X12 and EDIFACT document standards, with AS2 transport for secure, direct exchange. The documents we handle most often are purchase orders (850), advance ship notices (856), invoices (810), and acknowledgements, so your inbound orders and outbound shipping and billing all flow through one channel.

## How it works

We take each partner's specific requirements and map them directly into Fishbowl orders and fulfillment. An incoming 850 becomes a Fishbowl sales order, a shipment generates the 856, and the 810 goes back out from the same data. That mapping is where big-retailer compliance gets handled, so you are not re-keying documents or tracking spec changes by hand. We have built these integrations before and can match the format and rules your partners hand you.

Pair EDI with [custom reports](/fishbowl-custom-reports), [reconciliation](/accounting-inventory-reconciliation), or other [Fishbowl integrations](/integrations) when you need them.
