EDI Validator

Key Features

1. EDI Standards Validation Engine
   Validates EDI files against embedded database standards for EDI X12 4010, 5010, 6010, 7010, 8010 and all in-between (transaction, segment, element, syntax rules, composites, and definitions) from multiple TS releases — covering ANSI X12, EDI ABN, EDI TOP, and more.
2. Multi-Segment Parsing & Context Display
   Parses entire EDI files into segments and shows contextual lines around each error, helping users understand the surrounding data structure in context.
3. Real-Time Error TableView
   Displays validation errors live in a structured table: sequence number, segment ID, error code, category description, message, value under scrutiny, path, and segment index — all with live filtering support.
4. Drag-and-Drop File Input
   Accepts EDI files directly from the file system via drag-and-drop onto the file path panel, eliminating tedious manual browsing for quick testing workflows.
5. Live Progress Indicator During Validation
   Shows a real-time progress bar and "Processing segment N…" status message as validation runs asynchronously in a background worker thread, keeping users informed on large files.
6. Error Filtering & Search
   Users can type error codes into the filter field to narrow results instantly, enabling focused review of specific error categories across thousands of findings.
7. Unique Mode Toggle
   A toggle deduplicates identical errors so each unique violation appears only once — useful for spotting distinct problem types rather than repeated occurrences.
8. Acknowledgement File Generation (997 / 999)
   When a Pro license is active, the tool automatically generates EDI acknowledgement transaction files (ANSI 997 or ANSI 999) from validated input envelopes, complete with user-configurable settings.
9. Custom Validation Rules Engine
   Supports loading and applying user-defined custom validation rules, enabling domain-specific business-rule checks beyond standard syntax compliance.
10. Selective Disable Rules
    Allows users to selectively disable specific validation rules — useful when working with legacy or non-standard EDI formats that would otherwise trigger excessive false positives.
11. CSV Export of Validation Errors
    Exports filtered errors to CSV (configurable delimiter: comma, semicolon, tab, pipe; configurable quoting) with UTF-8 BOM for Excel compatibility — great for downstream reporting workflows.
12. PDF Report Generation
    Produces a formatted PDF validation report containing all error details and segment content, timestamped and labeled for archival and audit trails.
13. File Caching & Revalidation
    Results are cached per file — switching back to a previously validated file restores results instantly without re-processing, while a dedicated "Revalidate" menu item forces a fresh run when standards have changed.
