Thanks Art - Our Sales Department has been involved with this from the start. Yes, it is a cost of doing business but Sales did say they would recoup the money one way or another.

Can you transfer the cost to your sales department? They should absorb the cost, and that way they can be the judge of whether or not it is worth it.

It's crap as far as I'm concerned, being forced into this. My supervisor has built a flat-file that we will ftp to them because we don't have an 810. According to the OB10 documentation, "OB10 will accept any structured data invoice file.....send electronic invoices from your existing billing systems without purchasing any software, hardware of implementing costly programming". And also, this particular Customer "reserves the right to apply a $5.00 processing fee to all paper invoices received after October 31, 2008". Well, it's now nearing the end of January and we're still sending paper invoices. OB10 cannot get our flat-file mapped and have come back to us asking for changes. What happened to their statement of "All suppliers can easily participate without changing their existing invoicing formats"? $850/year fee to participate. It wasn't our idea to participate in the first place.
