One thing I love about these discussions is that you learn a lot about the EDI world you may not have actually dealt with personally. To be forewarned is to be fore armed, and whether that scares you or not, I would rather know about it ahead of time than learn about it after the fact. The complexity of EDI requires a lot of these kinds of dialogue so I am glad they take place regardless.

When or IF that happens, that usually means someone internally got the wrong customer Id on the order which according to our EDI system is still not an error because even the wrong customer Id can belong to a valid EDI customer. But still not understanding how my spending $79 and change to register my TP id on an external site is going to keep me from transmitting my 810 to the wrong TP... And if I send the 856 to the wrong TP and you're not on top of things (like Jason mentioned checking for the 997 or even easier have your 997 timeout set correctly), most retailers have a wonderful correction mechanism called a chargeback. Then you can explain to your management why the company got this chargeback fee for ASN not arrive on the largest shipment in company history... Perhaps it's time for Philipe LaMarche to return and address some of our questions and concerns...

In my experience "Avoid sending business-critical documents to the wrong EDI address!" is very seldom the issue. - I agree. At best the expiration date on AS2 certificates is usually what causes more problems than EDI addresses. However, keeping a close eye on 997s sent (or missing) from the TP can be helpful in alerting you to an EDI address change.

Just clicked on the FAQ. I particularly like this one: The identifier I am already using appears to have been registered by another company.... Congratulations, you just saved a lot of money! You now know that your EDI ID is not safe to use! Send us an email using the Contact Us link and tell us the ID you tried to register. We will contact you very shortly to help you resolve the situation. Or you can simply change your EDI ID. ________________________________ From: Leah Halpin <[email protected] <mailto:leahhalpin%40yahoo.com> <mailto:leahhalpin%40yahoo.com> > To: Ken Etter <[email protected] <mailto:edispec%40yahoo.com> <mailto:edispec%40yahoo.com> >; philipelamarche <[email protected] <mailto:philipelamarche%40yahoo.com> <mailto:philipelamarche%40yahoo.com> >; "[email protected] <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> " <[email protected] <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> <mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Wed, April 27, 2011 2:28:46 PM Subject: Re: [EDI-L] Stop Spending Time and Money Digging Through Outdated Trading Partner Data! Only $79.97 per year per EDI identifier. In my experience "Avoid sending business-critical documents to the wrong EDI address!" is very seldom the issue. And, "With your self-maintained....", what value is this? I have a "self maintained" list on the server, in an excel spreadsheet and, I'll admit, on two pieces of cardboard on my desk. Also, TP EDI info is (and had better be) maintained in your EDI translator, whatever that may be. Also, unless all of your TP's sign up for this paid service, you're not going to "Be notified as soon as your trading partner changes a critical piece of their EDI information." Unless Mr. Lamarche, you're going to be polling every business doing EDI daily for any changes?
