Maybe we can mark that down on the list of why they need real people who understand EDI to do this work and you can't just farm it out to a machine or a service and expect a comprehensively good result. Just because the documentation says there is a utility for something doesn't mean that it works or it does the job completely. You need someone who understands the process from scratch to fill in where the tools fail.
