Brian makes a very good point. When considering the "cost" of the system, don't forget to look at the integration costs of fitting it into your environment, the carrying costs of the platform (especially if different), and the all-important annual support fees the vendor will charge you, which in some cases are @*#$&! outrageous

Your thoughts. it really depends on where the data is going ... for example, if you're creating idocs, you want a mapper that can do that very painlessly. if you're going to jde, you'll want something that integrates with database tables easily. and you -probably- want a translator that runs on the same platform as your erp system. running edi on a pc and jde on unix can be a real pain in the ***. littledonnie199 wrote: >Greetings everyone, > >My company is new to EDI and we are looking to get up and running this >year.
