Testing contract
Expected to pass- Scenario
- Parse the interchange and check the CTT and SE control counts against the segments actually present.
- Expected result
- CTT reads 9 and exactly 9 HL segments are present. SE reads 31 and exactly 31 segments lie between ST and SE inclusive. The TD1 carton count is 20, matching the SN1 quantities (5 + 5 + 5 + 5) and the BOL-2026-0004 row of bill-of-lading-register.csv.
What is a .edi file?
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), in the ANSI X12 family, is a structured plain-text format for exchanging business documents like purchase orders (850) and invoices (810) between trading partners. It is built from segments (ISA, GS, ST, …) separated by delimiters, with tightly specified element positions. It underpins much of B2B supply-chain and retail commerce.

How to use this file for testing
“Pine Assembly Workshop: EDI X12 856 advance ship notice” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.
Documented properties for this file: ASCII · CRLF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
