Perhaps I should and it was, but before I go off into the sunset... This is a terrific example of, "Why I/T can't 'do EDI' alone and all affected user departments MUST be vested in the project." Maybe it was "not a problem" FOR THE I/T PEOPLE the ERP system was gummed up for twelve hours, but having actually sat at a sales desk , worked in an accounting office and spent time on the shipping dock, I can guarantee you it was a hassle for everyone else. Someone had to do something. Fortunately, someone did. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.

Over the past thirty+ years I've written a lot of 'reasonableness' edits for many different business systems. Are you sure you're just not jealous of your management for coming up with one such edit which never occurred to you? Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
