What is SignalEDI?
Definition
- SignalEDI
- SignalEDI is an EDI and API integration platform that gets suppliers ready for trading-partner mandates. This integration playbook explains how QuickBooks Desktop teams connect with SignalEDI for partner-mandated EDI and API workflows.
Key takeaways
- Map 810 invoices, 850 purchase orders, and 835 remittances into QuickBooks Desktop records via qbXML.
- Set up in three steps from the dashboard: provision credentials, download the .qwc file, run the Web Connector.
- Optional read-only inventory verification shows the active item count and snapshot time without storing item names.
Overview
SignalEDI connects on-premises QuickBooks Desktop installations to partner-mandated EDI using Intuit's own Web Connector (QBWC). Inbound 810 invoices, 850 purchase orders, and 835 remittances queue in SignalEDI and post into your company file on the connector's schedule, so accounting stays current without manual entry.

QuickBooks Online and Desktop
