Email to EDI

Orders that arrive as emails, in the body or as attachments, still have to become structured orders. Try the free parser on one email, or let OrderSync read the whole inbox.

How It Works in OrderSync

Step 1
Orders reach the inbox
OrderSync watches the mailbox your customers already send orders to.
Step 2
The order is read
From the email body or from PDF, spreadsheet and image attachments.
Step 3
Items and customers match
Lines are checked against your catalog and pricing and the sender matched to the right customer; anything unclear is flagged.
Step 4
Your team approves
A clean, checked order waits for approval, in the same queue as your EDI and PDF orders.

Why Email Orders Turn Into Retyping

Email is the default order channel for smaller customers. The order might be three lines in the body, a forwarded thread, a spreadsheet or a photo of an order pad. None of it reaches the ERP without someone reading it and typing it in, and that is where wrong quantities and missed lines come from.

Where EDI Fits

If your goal is getting email orders processed, you do not need EDI in the middle; OrderSync turns the email into a checked order for your team to approve. If a trading partner or a 3PL needs EDI for the same order, the structured lines can become an 850 with the CSV to EDI converter, and you can check the result in the EDI viewer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an order email be converted to an EDI 850?

Yes. Extract the order lines from the email, then build the 850 from them. The email order parser and the CSV to EDI converter do this for free one order at a time.

Does OrderSync read attachments as well as the email body?

Yes. It reads orders written in the body and orders attached as PDFs, spreadsheets or images.

Is the email I paste into the free parser uploaded?

Yes. The email order parser sends the text to OrderSync to be read by an AI model, as the page says above the input. The CSV to EDI converter runs entirely in your browser.
