My opinion, is that this is very common, especailly if you exchanging
binding documents (i.e. Purchase Order, Invoices, and/or transportation
bills). A lot of times in a paper world the terms are printed on some of
those documents. Your TPA covers you for not having those terms on every
document. Another, way to handle this is to have a contract that states the
transactions will be handled electronically, but thats just like having a
TPA.

Subject: Question
How commonly are Trading Partner Agreements used? It was my
understanding that these agreements are pretty common. We have a new
Trading Partner who will not sign one and the people trying to set up
the account insist it is something they have never heard of and nobody
they have talked to have ever heard of such a document.
