>From a legal as well as audit perspective we are not suppose to modify our IDOCs or EDI data (as a general rule). But sometimes EDI translation fails (or incorrect output) because of some internal configuration (say some customer master attribute field) and the waiting customer is 500 lbs. gorilla waiting to slap penalties for one reason or another, we do make changes in the IDOC on exception basis.
But we never modify the EDI data directly.

Our Director of Customer Service wants them to be able to edit any "failed" data that comes in. For example, if a customer orders an item in a wrong quantity (they order 11 when it has to be 12), the order will fail in SAP and the CSR's will see it on a custom SAP transaction. They want to be able to fix the data and then reprocess it. My suggestion is to do it in SAP with a custom transaction, but I wanted to cover all options. I don't think modifying the data outside of SAP and processing it back in is a good solution, but I'm open to what other people are doing. Thanks.
