8. A system, comprising: a memory; and a processor programmed to: determine, in response to reception of an electronic data interchange (EDI) instance document, that a hierarchical EDI reception processing rule sequence, useable to partition encoded hierarchical envelopes of the EDI instance document and to invoke processing of payload data packaged within the encoded hierarchical envelopes, has not been configured; determine, by analysis of content of the EDI instance document, an EDI standard and syntax formatting of the encoded hierarchical envelopes that package the payload data within the EDI instance document; and configure, within the memory, an EDI reception processing sequence definition that encodes the hierarchical EDI reception processing rule sequence usable to partition the encoded hierarchical envelopes of the EDI instance document and to invoke the processing of the payload data packaged within the encoded hierarchical envelopes.

The system of claim 8 , where the received EDI instance document comprises a sample EDI instance document.
