Are there any specs or presentations out there that give "context" to a group of EDI Docs?
Often the title of the EDI Doc will give a context to the use of said document. You can also Google the document number to learn more about its context. However, each trading partner gives a context to every document they trade with and that becomes the de facto use you will be interested in. For example: The 816 should be used to provide New Store Information; however, Wal-mart loves to put new store information in their 850s (Purchase Orders). Even though it makes much more sense to use the 816, the context for receiving new store information can also come in the 850.

Guidelines 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?
