Hi All,
I've had an interesting question posed to me about Home Depot and GDS Global 
Data Synchronization.  A client has asked if the Inovis translator is compliant 
with GDS Standards.  Now, I did a little googling and I even called Big Hammer 
(love that name) who is HD's "preferred vendor" for this process.  Since 
they've told me that they don't accept 832 Catalog or any EDI, rather they use 
excel spreadsheets and or data entry, I'm having a hard time understanding how 
a translator (any translator) could be either compliant or non-compliant.  If 
the "synchronized" data is being sent in EDI between customer and supplier 
withouth having to go through some third party doing some fancy schmancy data 
conversion, as long as the ERP is capable of interpreting and returning the 
data, if required, on the ASN, it's no different from any other piece of data, 
right?  Am I missing something here?  

Craig, you're the retail guru, what am I missing?

Thanks everyone,
Leah
