Thanks, Todd.... I'm pretty sure that a lot of retailers use similar maps and only stray from the "norm" for specific information that they require.... Like Walter and the grocery company needing not only the UPC for the items but also the UPC for the carton level (at least that's what I think I remember reading from the posts)... He also needs specific information about the product on his ASNs that we don't need. Each retailer/buyer will have needs and requirements that may OR may NOT be the same as others - even within their own industries. Basically, however, it will be different for each retailer or supplier or company.... EDI is to make it easier to communicate between suppliers & vendors, simplifying the transactions. But each case will be unique and different... For example, I receive ASNs from Coleman and, while the provide all of the information that our system requires, there are many additional segments and elements that Coleman uses for their ASNs that we do not use. The "extra data" just sits out there - unused - and is never migrated from our EDI system into our purchasing and warehouse management systems.
