Short answer

How can I use AI to fix EDI validation errors?

Your AI pulls transaction history and specific error details directly from Orderful to identify schema mismatches or missing segments. It then explains the root cause in plain English so you can fix the source file immediately.

Where every issue lands.

The outcomes of your troubleshooting

Once connected, your AI categorizes every error into one of these four buckets.

TRIAGE

Error identification

The AI scans recent failures to find patterns in why your B2B documents are being rejected.

DIAGNOSIS

Root cause analysis

Your agent reads the specific error codes to tell you exactly which segment or field broke the rules.

REPAIR

Fix instructions

The AI provides the specific logic or data changes needed to make the transaction pass validation next time.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If the error is due to a partner's incorrect requirements, the AI flags it for you to discuss with them.

The workflow

What your AI does when a transaction fails.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of digging through logs so you don't have to manually hunt for error codes.

  1. Scan recent activity

    The AI looks through your recent B2B traffic to find any transactions that didn't clear validation.

    list_transactions

  2. Isolate the failure

    It picks out the specific failed transaction that needs your attention.

    get_transaction

  3. Extract error details

    The AI pulls the exact validation error messages and segment locations from the system.

    get_transaction_errors

  4. Explain the fix

    It translates the technical error into a clear instruction on how to correct the data.
