What is this?

Big retailers (Walmart, Target, Kroger, Home Depot…) send purchase orders asX12 EDI files — a rigid machine format from the 1980s that looks likePO1*1*120*EA*9.25*TE*CB*065322‑117… Suppliers are expected to read these, confirm them, and answer with more EDI (an 856 ship notice, an 810 invoice) — or eat chargebacks. Full-service EDI providers charge $1,000+ setup and $120–300/month for that loop.

FluentEDI is the spreadsheet-native alternative for small suppliers: this free viewer reads what the retailer sent you, and the 856 generator (in progress) turns your shipment spreadsheet back into retailer-valid EDI.

Common questions

Is my purchase order data safe?

Yes — structurally, not just by promise. The parser runs entirely in your browser as JavaScript; your file's contents are never transmitted anywhere. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works. Full transparency: the page sends a single anonymous counter ping ("a file was parsed") so we know the tool is being used — it contains no file content, no identifiers, nothing else.

Which documents can it read?

Optimized for the 850 purchase order today. Other X12 documents (855, 856, 810, 820) parse to raw segments — full support is on the way. It reads any standard X12 file regardless of version (4010, 5010…), detecting separators from the ISA envelope like a proper parser should.

What does it cost?

The viewer is free, permanently. Paid plans will cover the outbound direction — generating 856/810 documents in bulk from spreadsheets — at a flat price with unlimited documents.
