Or... you could simply adapt. An EDI Translation Services environment should be able to accommodate BOTH. The translator deployed at your installation should be robust enough to accommodate those TPs sending multiples or single Groups. Certainly you have the option to hang a pre-process parser up front to re-align/alter the bit stream to satisfy whatever limitation/challenge presented by your EDI pasing architecture. Your call. But be mindful of what constitutes a 'unit of work' and expectation of the receiving app.This can cause significant headaches from a real-time event-driven programmed architecture. I suppose much of my take on the subject stems from the experiences I have had, none of which involves retail. I've been blessed with the luxury of working for a 'Walmart'-like shop, where my 'business' EDI rules/guidelines are established in accordance with the operational business rules established within the particular program. At once it is a nice place to be, but certainly accommodations always need be anticipated for the few EDI savvy shops demanding they be allowed to 'flex' the fully allowable DISA ANSI X.12 paradigm. Flexibility is key. Oh to work for Walmart! (oye,what was i thinkin?) Bud-Customs

If your 997 are batching with the 810 and 856, send them out before processing your 810 and 856. If the 810 and 856 are batching together, process them separately and send one batch to the van before processing the second. A schedule change should be enough to do what you need. -or - if you really only need it for one partner ... use an editor, pull the interchange from the batch heading for the van, and do what you have to do. -or- call your van, see if they can split the interchanges for the one partner ... at his expense, of course. -or- contact me off list and let me know who needs a new translator, and we'll get him some services :) Patrick Sczypiorski wrote: > Good afternoon all, > > First of all, let me start by saying "Thanks!" to everyone who > responded to my post regarding Web-Based EDI solutions.
