Galia is a prominent organization in the French automotive industry, dedicated to promoting standards and implementing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Their main role is to support efficient collaboration between companies in the automotive sector through EDI solutions.

Use case:

One common use case for Galia is the management of orders and invoices between auto parts manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers.

from EDIconnect import EDI_Transaction

# Creating an EDI transaction for auto parts order
transaction = EDI_Transaction()
transaction.set_sender(“ComponentManufacturer”)
transaction.set_receiver(“VehicleManufacturer”)
transaction.set_document_type(“ORDERS”)

# Adding order information
transaction.add_segment(“BEG”, {“OrderNumber”: “12345”, “OrderDate”: “2023-07-05”})
transaction.add_segment(“DTM”, {“DeliveryDate”: “2023-07-15”})
transaction.add_segment(“LIN”, {“ProductCode”: “P123”, “Quantity”: “100”})

# Sending the EDI transaction to the receiver
transaction.send()
