Client-level EDI identifiers
Auto-inherit global settings, override per client when needed.
Updated on May 7, 20261 min readEDIidentifiants
Most customers share the same EDI identifiers as your global setup. No need to retype everything for each one. OstraOS automatically applies the global values and lets you override per customer for those who impose a specific format or identifier.
The inheritance principle
- Empty field on the client: OstraOS applies the global value.
- Filled field on the client: the client value wins over the global.
- The form shows a "(Global default)" placeholder until a specific value is set.
This logic applies to every EDI field: invoice format, protocol, issuer identifiers, buyer references, payment-method code, endpoint and notification email. You centralise what's common, you customise what's specific.
Tip
Typical case: a major retail customer requires a specific format for their invoices. Override only the format field on their record, and let the rest inherit the global.
