• EIP is invoicing only. EDI includes invoicing and many other transaction sets. • EIP is sent via e-mail to the customer. EDI is sent via FTP, AS2 or a VAN to the customer. • EIP invoicing data can be reformatted by the customer using Microsoft Excel if sent via CSV, and with programming if sent via XML. • EDI invoicing data has to be formatted according to EDI standards by Con-way before being sent to the customer. • EDI typically has a longer setup time than EIP, but EDI has the capability to provide special editing and include location-specific coding, which are not features of EIP.
