EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange.  Instead of receiving 'paper' bills one at a time, the file contains all of the bills from the Supplier.  This removes the burden of manually entering monthly utility bills. Using EDI file formats your bills can be electronically imported into your Sigma database. From there, your data can be audited, analysed, presented, and even exported to your accounting system. Sigma supports manual bill entry for when your supplier is unable to provide bills in an electronic format.
