Does Files.com connect to Epicor through an API?

No. Files.com is not an Epicor API connector, and you do not install anything in Epicor. Files.com is the SFTP and file layer Epicor EDI and Demand Management already exchange files through. Epicor handles the records; Files.com receives, converts, automates, and audits the file exchange around it.

Can Files.com convert partner X12 EDI for Epicor?

Yes. Files.com converts inbound X12 EDI and partner flat files into the format Epicor EDI and Demand Management expect, as part of the workflow — so trading partners can keep sending their own formats without a separate translator to license and maintain.

How Files.com Fits With Epicor

Epicor Kinetic runs partner integration on EDI and flat files. Epicor EDI and Demand Management exchange X12 messages and flat files over SFTP — purchase orders, advance ship notices, and invoices moving with the trading partners a manufacturer or distributor depends on. The part that breaks is rarely the Epicor side; it is collecting files from partners who each send a different format on a different schedule.

Files.com is the SFTP front door for that exchange. Partners send to your Files.com site over SFTP, FTPS, or HTTPS; an Automation decrypts and validates each file, converts X12 EDI and partner flat files into the shape Epicor expects, and stages it where Demand Management or the EDI process reads it. The same flow runs in reverse for what Epicor writes out — picked up, encrypted, and delivered to each partner with a full record of what went where.

What You Would Use
