The question is kind of odd. Invois has a catlog service and can accept EDI 832 transactions. Inovis has a way (via a service called Align Track) to load GS1 from their catalog. GXS also has an online catalog that accepts 832 transactions and can also load GS1. Since both catalog services have a way to support GDS I suppose they might be considered compliant. But the Invois translator is just a translator. If you have the data and the catalogs and the 832 transaction supports it, you can use the Inovis translator to create the transaction. Tim

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 1:45 PM 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?
