Welcome to the world of EDI. Someone still has to "marry" the application
interface to the EDI Standards. It is usually helpful if you have an
application interface "expert" available (or one that you can ask application
implementation questions of).
3 weeks sounds about right if you're building the application interface and the
map from scratch.
Question to you XML bigots: How does XML solve this problem/make it any easier?

Subject: DEC/EDI Mapping
I haven't been working with EDI for very long, so please excuse my lack of
knowledge.
The company that I work for uses DEC/EDI (Digital Equipment Corp).
Currently, we do not have an in-house mapping expert. So, any time one of
our trading partners wants to trade a new EDI document, we STRUGGLE to get
the map together and get it working properly. Our usual process is to look
at the sequence & structure off all the elements & segments that are
required, then we begin our trial & error routine.
My question is this - is there an easier way for us to get this done? Are
there any kind of tools or books available that would make our lives
simpler? Currently, it takes us roughly 3 weeks to get a new map functioning
properly. Yes, we always get the job done, but it's a painstaking process.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
