Client calls:  Big panic because ASN to SearsUS had failed and had to be 
resent.  We found the problem (data-entry) and the ASN was resent, but no 997!  
Then they received an email from SearsUS about a missing 997 for a PO that was 
never received....  hmmm

Called VAN (Easylink) and was reminded that Sears US had switched from Advantis 
to Sterling.  They checked our outgoing to make sure it was now being 
interconnected to Sterling.  That was fine, but there was nothing inbound from 
Sears for a few days!

After a few frantic emails to Sears, it turns out that another company on the 
Sterling network was using the same qualifier & ID as our client on Easylink!  
All the outbound documents from SearsUS were being sent to them, instead of 
interconnecting to Easylink.

sigh...  Another week, another problem solved ;-)

Moral:  Use a qualifier & ID that are globally unique, if possible.
