In the worlds of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and cloud ERP, manual data entry is akin to a four-letter word—something best not used in the professional space.
Data entry is defined as “transcribing information into an electronic medium such as a computer or other electronic device. It can either be performed manually or automatically by using a machine or computer.” EDI is the electronic transferring of data from one computer system to another using a standardized format, thus removing any manual data entry from the process.
