Well, yea. I agree with all that.
And that is why I liked these specific docs so well. One, there were almost generic. But, they also implied a context. I have attached my favorite as an example. For someone (software focused, IT Tech) new (to EDI and) to Delivery Notes and Ship Notes and under the gun to immediately understand EDI and implement it within a new ERP; these were wonderful education. Where looking at, say, a Walmart 940 spec, would tell you (almost) nothing about what a delivery note "is" or its "context" within the group of Warehouse EDI documents. That's why I liked these specific specs. and why I thought it worthwhile (even though they are NOT a specific Trading Partner of any client I have) to find their origin and to find the "complete list" if I could. So, I expand my "question". Are there any specs or presentations out there that give "context" to a group of EDI Docs. The attached "Spec" seems to at least allude to a set of documents that track Warehouse Activity. I've always wanted to find one that originated with the "Sales Order" (850) and ended with the Invoice (810). PO Ack (855), that includes changes (860), PO Change Ack (865), Shipping Schedule (862). Etc. (What is the real transaction set. and its Business Cases?) Context, context, context. The road to real education?

Almost as if these are some "core EDI Documents". The quality, comprensiveness and utilty of these documents - called the "implementation guides" - will vary from partnership to partnership and depend totally on the creator. In theory, these docs are created by mutual agreement between trading partners. In Real Life, these docs are most often created by a customer who is telling the vendor upon what they agree.
