Perhaps I am not understanding, but why not use the GS? Or are you talking about copying the 3PL and/or carrier (I can't quite tell which end of this you're on) on an ASN being sent to the customer? In which case, you only need one sender/receiver, the data content will tell the tale. Or are you talking about logistic documents, 210 - ish transactions? Maybe the 3PL is doing sequencing and they need a copy of the 866?
I'm not really sure if you're talking about three entities or two? A third party logistics company, a separate carrier and a customer? Or is one of the first two the "customer". Strange, because I thought 3PL's and carriers are usually vendors, rather than customers (at least for EDI purposes). Depending on exactly what you're trying to do, there may be several solutions, and I'll guarantee you, they are all easier and more elegant that setting up numerous ISA combinations to get data to and from the same two places.

The problem we are running into is that for a given carrier the 3PL uses, there are multiple customers the 3PL manages (shipper) "one to many relationship". We are currently setting up a unique pair between the carrier/3PL-Shipper(Customer) combination. That means the carrier will have multiple ISA Sender/Receiver IDs for this 3PL based on the number of customers (shippers) the 3PL uses that carrier for. I'm not looking to steal any secret sauce, but I'm wondering if anyone has a more elegant solution they may have used.
