# EDI Operations

Accessed through clicking EDI > "**EDI Operations"** link on the left side panel of the application.

EDI operation refers to the processing of EDI data, such as transforming, mapping, or validating EDI data. EDI operations are performed as part of an EDI integration flow, and they enable organizations to automate the exchange of business transactions between their systems and their trading partners.

Examples of EDI operations that can be performed within an iPaaS platform include:

* EDI Transformation: Transforming EDI data from one format to another, such as transforming an EDI X12 document into a CSV file.
* EDI Mapping: Mapping EDI data to another format, such as mapping EDI data to a database schema.
* EDI Validation: Validating EDI data against an EDI specification, such as checking an EDI X12 document for compliance with the ANSI X12 specification.

### Create an EDI Operation

1. Select an XML Source or select a file using the Resources folder.
2. View the EDI Operation in various formats including Text, XML, HEX, HTML. 
3. Click **Validate** to edit the file content and download the EDI operation
