My knee jerk reaction is to agree that it doesn't matter what "industry standard object" they are using; bad data is bad data. After some thought it might not be so black & white .. it depends on the nature of the data as to how bad the violation is. For example, a bad date or out of sequence segments as you described is pretty. On the other hand, if an element represents $10.50 and the trailing zero doesn't get lopped off .. well .. normally a system that's importing that file won't balk.

If the X12 format is bad (putting a SAC Segment after the TDS Segment in an 810) or say a date in the 810 in the GS Segment of 20050332 is sent would these issues cause the outbound file to fail? > I have a Vendor telling me they are "are using an industry standard object to generate the EDI.
