And as helpful as these guidelines maybe, they only apply to Rapid. There are many other ways to configure these documents.

Guidelines Hello Rich: All of us have been newbies. All of us are quick to help. I have never been snubbed by an EDI person when I showed an eagerness to learn EDI. Now many of use are well seasoned in both EDI and the entire business process. Your question is honorable, but remember EDI reflects all the paper processes that exist in business. Not just one business but all businesses. A PO document is ubiquitous in most business yet there is no mandate that all paper PO's must have the date in the top right hand corner and the PO number in the top left. That is a reason why EDI specifications are so fluid. EDI is the smelting pot for all business transactions, which encompasses all business verticals. Come work with EDI, ask questions. Yes most often the people with gray hair are the ones with experience, we have earned it. So often because something is computerized people think that when you buy a copy of Corel Draw it makes you an artist. This is not true anymore than buying a copy of Word will make you a poet. All things worth learning take either great time, great effort or both. I know no one in their right mind would allow me to paint the Sistine chapel just because I had some paint, a ladder and was in Italy. Scott Scott E. Phillips Pinnacle Data Technologies, Inc.
