Consider creating a custom XML conversion definition any time
The Custom XML Conversion Definition Editor lets you create custom conversion definitions for many file types, including EDI. You can learn more about using the Custom XML Conversion Definition Editor to convert custom EDI formats here: Working with EDI Conversions.
However, Stylus Studio and XML Converters both support the Standard Exchange Format (SEF), which allows you to defined extensions to EDI standards. The Stylus Studio EDI to XML module allows you to easily create SEF files to manage conversion of custom EDI formats. Its graphic user interface can simplify the process of converting non-conforming EDI to XML - and vice versa. See Chapter 4 "Converting EDI to XML" for more information.
