We have a number of vendors that have traditionally included a lot of unstructured text on their paper invoices, and this has presented problems in moving these vendors to 810s. Using the IT1/PID loop, we have developed the capability to process a modest amount of text associated with each detail line, but we have not gone far enough to address the considerable volume of text needed when the invoice is for custom items, i.e., items that involve custom embroidery, decals, colors, reconditioning services, etc. In addition, some of the text needs to be associated with the entire 810, not just with a specific line.
It appears that we could take the brute-force approach and simply use a lot of occurrences of (1) the IT1/PID loop to handle the line-related text and (2) the ISS summary loop (which includes a PID segment) to handle the text associated with the entire invoice. (We would also have to make considerable mods to our line-of-business system as well, which was not designed to accommodate a novel within each 810.) I'm hoping there is a better way. It just doesn't seem to me that the 810 was ever intended to do this sort of thing, and yet I understand the business needs of these vendors. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
