EDI Template to XSD

EDI Template XSD

When XSDs are required for any of the EDI templates, for example, if you are applying XSL transformations, XSDs can be generated from compiled assemblies containing the desired EDI templates. Use Microsoft's XSD.exe to generate the XSDs.

For example, if you need an XSD for purchase order 850, version 4010, do the following:

1. Create a project named EdiFabric.Examples.X12.Templates.V4010 and add the purchase order EDI Template to it (tutorial here). Build it to generate EdiFabric.Examples.X12.Templates.V4010.dll

2. Start Developer Command Prompt and type in:

xsd.exe EdiFabric.Examples.X12.Templates.V4010.dll /type:EdiFabric.Templates.X12004010.TS850

EDI Control Segments XSD

To generate XSDs for the control or acknowledgment segments use the EdiFabric.Core.dll assembly.
