Send them a paper invoice. It will cost them more to process. It will probably also cost you more... Explain to them (nicely, if possible), that an EDI invoice will save them money, since they won't have to process the invoices manually. Then tell them that you are not interested in giving them the additional allowance. If they are going to pay you faster, then it _may_ be worth the additional cost to you. There may be a 3rd party involved, which is charging them to process your invoices... . > Sometimes I wonder about the use of the word Partnership in EDI relationships. You obviously misunderstood the term. When they mention 'Partnership", you always have to ask 'How much is it going to cost' ;-( How about a name? (or send it privately...) I'm not shy when it comes to exposing this kind of BS. Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com .
