Thank you all for your insight into EDIFACT and their use of the ISO tables.

I use Softshare, and this code did not fail, but I chalked that up to being
the fact that the TP sent an unexpected version.  Now I realize that
Softshare Delta correctly does not match the currency code to a predefined
set of codes based on the EDIFACT standard.

Again, thanks.

Subject: RE: [EDI-L] <Tech>EDIFACT Currency Codes and the Ubiquitous Euro

Hi.

You won't find Currency Codes in EDIFACT tables.  When "EUR" was added,
it was added to the ISO standard mentioned by Anders earlier, and is not
tied to a specific EDIFACT version.  EDIFACT just says, use the ISO
codes.  So if your EDIFACT D04B tables were installed before EUR got
added to the ISO list (which surprises me, because "EUR" has been in use
since at least 2000 - or maybe your initial EDIFACT installation used
the ISO table of the day and hasn't since been updated?), the new
currency code has to be added somehow.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [EDI-L] <Tech>EDIFACT Currency Codes and the Ubiquitous Euro


Somebody just sent me a test for an EDIFACT ORDERS transaction, which
included a CUX segment.  CUX is where currency is defined, and they sent
the code EUR.  They are in Finland, and Finland uses the Euro.  But I
checked my tables for every EDIFACT version I have in house, up to D04B,
and I couldn't find EUR or any other code labeled Euro.

 

Does anybody have any insight into this?

 

Thanks in advance,
