What Is an EDIFACT ORDERS Message?

ORDERS is the UN/EDIFACT message type used to place a purchase order — the EDIFACT equivalent of the X12 850, and one of the most widely used EDIFACT messages in European and international commercial trade. A buyer sends an ORDERS message to a supplier specifying the goods or services requested, quantities, prices, and delivery terms, typically followed by an ORDRSP acknowledgment and a DESADV dispatch advice.

Why Convert an ORDERS Message to CSV?

Just as with X12 850 purchase orders, procurement teams need ORDERS line items in a spreadsheet-friendly format to cross-check against inventory systems, budgets, and supplier catalogs. CSV gives you that instantly, without needing dedicated EDIFACT translation software.

Key Segments You'll See in an ORDERS Export

  • BGM — Beginning of Message: document/message name and function, and the order number.
  • DTM — Date/Time/Period: order date and requested delivery date.
  • NAD — Name and Address: buyer, seller, and delivery party details.
  • LIN — Line Item: product/item identification for each ordered line.
  • QTY — Quantity: ordered quantity per line item.
  • PRI — Price Details: unit price per line item.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ORDERS the same as the X12 850?

They serve the same business purpose (placing a purchase order) but use different standards — ORDERS is UN/EDIFACT, 850 is ANSI X12. This tool auto-detects which one you have.

Does the export include delivery dates?

Yes — DTM segments carrying dates are parsed and labeled like every other segment.

Is my ORDERS file uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing happens entirely in your browser; the file is never transmitted to a server.

Is this a subscription?

No — a one-time payment (currently 50% off at $29.99) unlocks unlimited full-file exports, with no recurring fees.

Does this work on Mac/iPhone, other EDIFACT versions, or multiple files at once?

Yes on device — it runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, or iPad. It parses structurally, so ORDERS messages under D.96A, D.01B, and other EDIFACT versions are all supported. Note it currently processes one file at a time rather than bulk/batch uploads.
