EDI is a HUGE subject, and can be very, very difficult to implement, depending on your needs and skill level. <br />
<br />
There are EDI standards in several &quot;flavors&quot;, like X12, EDIFACT, etc. You must determine if you're going to use one of those, and if so, which one. Even the the &quot;standards&quot; can change, and they'll be different for different industries (Medical, Manufacturing, etc), so as Kimputer said you must be sure that both sides agree on the format. From there, it's just a matter of transferring files containing the information needed. <br />
<br />
There are many commercial and open source programs that can create and handle EDI for you. In many cases, it's simpler and better to use one of those programs instead of trying to create your own.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
