“Because the orders flow right into Sage 100 without any hands touching it, there is nothing to get lost. When I was assigned EDI management responsibilities, I thought the EDI Advantage modules were part of Sage 100. These modules don’t look or feel like third party products – the EDI products look exactly like Sage 100!“
“Many times with the other EDI solutions, their capacity is very limited. Kissinger’s EDI Advantage not only has the capacity our customers need, but the ease of use which is so important as well. We don’t want to spend months doing complex programming when our customers need fast, efficient, and effective solutions. Plus, the level of support that Kissinger provides is absolutely the best in the industry.”
“The other guys did demos for us, but we just thought the process with EDI Advantage was simpler, and it really has been great. It just works the way it’s supposed to work. We needed it to be an easy process for our customer service person to use, and we wanted a smooth integration into sales order. Those were the two keys and EDI Advantage delivers on both. And working with Kissinger is great – they go above and beyond, and they’re always there to help us out when we need something. We definitely made the right choice.”
“The process began to make sense when I started to talk to Kissinger. What I learned was…there are three ways to transmit this information. Not paying transaction fees by using, instead of a VAN, using an AS2 connection or using FTP seemed to be the best bet, which is what marries well with Sage 100. This is a product Kissinger has been involved in for many years. We were impressed with that.“
“With 30% of our orders coming through GHX, being able to fully automate all of these orders has had an incredible impact. We went from an extensive manual process to now having a fully touchless process. This has saved us at least 40 hours of work a week, freeing up our team to focus on other revenue-generating tasks.”
“I used to have to input everything manually. It’s a huge time-saver and our customers are more satisfied. Everyone at Kissinger is easy to work with. They understood our needs and created an integrated solution that gives us exactly what we wanted”.

No. Sage 100 doesn't include EDI translation or trading partner communications, so suppliers with EDI requirements need an add-on. EDI Advantage provides those functions inside Sage 100, so EDI orders become regular Sage 100 sales orders without re-keying.
EDI Advantage is a set of Sage 100 modules developed and supported by Kissinger Associates, a Sage Tech Partner and member of Sage’s developer program (originally called Master Developer) since it launched in 1989. It automates purchase orders (850), advance ship notices (856) with GS1-128 labels, invoices (810), and many other EDI documents from within Sage 100. The modules run inside Sage 100 and look and work like standard Sage 100 screens, so your team processes EDI where they already work.
EDI Advantage runs inside Sage 100. When a trading partner sends a purchase order (850), EDI Advantage receives and translates it and creates a regular Sage 100 sales order, so there’s no re-keying. When you ship, it creates the advance ship notice (856) and GS1-128 labels, and when you invoice in Sage 100, it sends the invoice (810) to your trading partner. Your team works in Sage 100 screens the whole time.
Yes. EDI Advantage pairs highly automated EDI software that runs inside Sage 100 with a full-service team of US-based Sage 100 EDI specialists. Kissinger builds each trading partner's Compliance Pack, manages testing with the trading partner until you're approved for production, and updates the Compliance Pack when a partner changes its requirements. After go-live, the same team that built your integration provides phone and email support, so you get both automation and an expert team.
EDI Advantage is available for all Sage 100 editions (Standard, Advanced, and Premium) and all currently supported Sage 100 versions, including installations still called Sage 100cloud. Sage 100 was formerly known as Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200.
Yes. EDI Advantage works with Sage 100 whether it runs on your own servers or is hosted in the cloud.
No. When a trading partner provides an SFTP or FTP mailbox, EDI Advantage connects to it directly, with no VAN needed. Partners that require AS2, such as Walmart, need a VAN or separate AS2 software, and most companies trade with at least one. That’s why Kissinger recommends a VAN for most customers, typically Commport: it handles AS2 and keeps all your trading partner connections running. EDI Advantage works with any VAN, including SPS Commerce.
Yes. Walmart requires AS2, and EDI Advantage connects to Walmart through a VAN such as Commport, which handles the AS2 connection, so you don't need separate AS2 software. EDI Advantage supports the core documents Walmart suppliers exchange, including purchase orders, ASNs, and invoices. This covers Walmart supplier EDI. To sell on walmart.com as a marketplace seller, see Walmart Marketplace integration.
EDI Advantage can be used with virtually any trading partner that exchanges EDI, including retailers, grocers, distributors, 3PLs, and healthcare networks such as GHX. Customers use it today with hundreds of trading partners, including Walmart, Lowe’s, Amazon, Grainger, Fastenal, Rural King, and Kroger.
EDI Advantage is generally sold as a subscription for the modules you need. Each trading partner is set up with a Trading Partner Compliance Pack, and changes to a Compliance Pack are billed when a partner updates its requirements. There are no per-document or per-transaction fees. Compliance Packs are specific to each customer, because trading partners often apply their guidelines differently from one supplier to the next.
Testing with each trading partner takes about 30 days on average. Some partners finish in two weeks, and slower ones can take longer. Installing and configuring EDI Advantage is the predictable part. The timeline mostly depends on how quickly each trading partner responds to test documents and approves you for production.
The most common are 850 purchase orders, 855 acknowledgments, 856 ASNs, 810 invoices, and 846 inventory advice, plus 832 price/sales catalogs, 812 credit/debit adjustments, 820 payment/remittance advice, 864 text messages, grocery (875/880), routing (753/754), and 3PL warehouse (940/945) documents. Other documents can be added as trading partners require them.
Yes. Kissinger works with Sage resellers through its Sage 100 Partner Program, and the reseller stays involved in the deal.
If your EDI setup has specific requirements or unique trading partners, don’t worry—EDI Advantage is built to handle custom integrations and complex workflows. Our expert team will work with you to tailor a solution that meets your exact needs, whether you're looking to simplify processes or improve compliance.
