Abstract
Synchronous validation and acknowledgment of electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions. A connection session on a communication network is established for handling EDI transactions from a source. A collection of EDI transactions is received via the communication network. A receipt acknowledgement is returned to the source indicating the EDI transactions have been received. The EDI transactions are validated as the EDI transactions are received. A validation acknowledgement is transmitted via the communication network to the source before the connection session is terminated. The validation acknowledgement indicates the EDI transactions have been validated.
