I always went by the philosophy that it needs to be retained for 7 years. I keep going back to the IRS thing..
Although I have no clue where it is written, I am just going by what I have been told in the past..distant past..I'm old (but not too old).

What is the timeframe on an EDI doc, in its raw form, needs to be archived before deletion? I don't know if there are legal requirements to save the original EDI data, we are health care industry, I don't know if SOX requires it. But, even absent legal requirements, the original EDI data ought to be kept for audit and dispute resolution purposes. Any information that will help me determine if need to keep the EDI data.
