EDIWHEEL
The EDIWHEEL standard ( wheel = "wheel") was developed as an industry standard for the tire trade . In a collaboration between dealers, software manufacturers and the tire industry, the specific requirements for the processes from inventory inquiries to ordering and invoicing were first analyzed and documented in EDI processes on the basis of the EANCOM subset. In addition to the classic asynchronous EDI processes based on EDIFACT, EDIWHEEL also includes synchronous system-to-system processes that can be processed using various communication channels including XML via HTTP .
operation area
The EDIWHEEL standard is used in the tire industry for business processes between the tire trade and the tire industry. The standard is supported by many tire manufacturers. A requirement on the part of the tire trade is one of the numerous inventory management software that supports the standard.
development
Work on the standard began in a working group for the first time in 1999 on the initiative of the BRV (Federal Association of Vulcanization Companies) and the wdk (Business Association of the German Rubber Industry ).
