There is a standard rule for documentation: documentation must be designed
for the target audience.
Your 'electronic trading partners' don't know - and almost never care - how
you create the X12 you send them or how they create the X12 they send you.
Hmm,.. you know, you could almost think of X12 as a 'standard' for the
exchange of common business documents, huh?

This reminds me of why I said *almost* never care.
I am working with a client's customer who has an SAP ERP system... and an
outside firm who handles that customer's X12<==>iDoc mapping. He sent me
the "application" mapping so we can speak the same language (his) when we
are trying to clarify what he means by that code in I see in the 850 PO
segment TD5 element three. (" Oh, an 'A' in E1EDKT2.TDLINE? That means 'UPS
Ground!')
