Answer: A
A communications handler transmits and receives electronic
documents between trading partners and/or wide area networks
(WANs). An EDI translator translates data between the
standard format and a trading partner's proprietary format.
An application interface moves electronic transactions to,
or from, the application system and performs data mapping.
An EDI interface manipulates and routes data between the
application system and the communications handler.
