Sherry is correct. Like many large organizations in MN, such as 
Cargill,3M,Target,Best Buy and others, there is usually a single initial 
contact.

2a. EDI in the UK
    Posted by: "Samantha Scott" [email protected] ssbutcher
    Date: Tue Mar 20, 2012 7:46 am ((PDT))

Good morning,

My company's UK business has been growing tremendously and as a result they are 
getting a new HQ, warehouse and a new ERP and it seems I will be taking over 
their EDI translation and communication functions.  I already do a few minor 
docs for them now that are EDIFACT SLSRPT.  I speak EDIFACT and X12 quite 
thoroughly but Tradacoms is a pretty new beast to me.  

I am looking for some recommended places to start reading up on Tradacoms and 
EDI in the UK in general.  For instance...how does their enveloping work...do 
they use it?  Why does the order look like its three different maps for header 
detail and summery (in GIS/SI mapper they are all different spec types)  Do you 
get acknowledgements back?  

If anyone can point me to any reliable resources I would be most grateful

- Samantha

EDI Academy has an EDIFACT and Tradacoms class coming up in London this summer.

http://ediacademy.com/CourseSchedule.html

All the enveloping and and transaction walk-throughs are part of this class.

Thanks,

Sadly its scheduled for July and I have to be live in June.  Thank you though.  
I will put this on my list of training requests and maybe its better late than 
never.

There is a Wikipedia article on TRADACOMS which is brief, but explains 
it relative to EDIFACT. I will not say who the original author was ;-)

> Do you get acknowledgements back?

There is no message in Tradacoms equivalent to the 997 or CONTRL. You 
just have to use the network acknowledgements to see if a file has been 
picked up. If it fails conversion by the trading partner then I believe 
you will get an email/phonecall, although with our superb converters, 
which only allow the purest, fluffiest and most cute EDI to be sent to 
the network, this is not something I have much experience of :-)

Chris

Many years ago I was a one person department for a $200 million company and
I was on-call all the time.  It can be very stressful.

I am not sure where you are getting you information from, but Medtronic does 
not have a 1 person EDI shop.  They do have someone who has been their primary 
EDI person for a number of years but she has other people reporting to her.  I 
contracted there a few years ago and they have a large group, part of whom 
focus on traditional EDI.

Medtronic historically has been a one person EDI shop in MN which is a little 
unusual for a $10 Billion company.  I saw a job posting for an EDI position at 
Medtronic and it appears that it is still a one person job.  Is anybody on this 
list at Medtronic in Moundsview/St. Paul, MN?  I have seen this job posted 
several times over the past year.  Just curious what is going on there. Thanks.

This is primarily about public safety standards, but it would be interesting if 
the American government has mandated the use of X12 standards in healthcare.

In that case, the relevant X12 standards would no longer be copyright 
protected.

http://boingboing.net/2012/03/19/liberating-americas-secret.html

I'm in Canada, so we don't use X12 EDI in Healthcare.

•EDI expertise (has done EDI work for 2 or more years)
•Experienced using Gentran
•Self Led (they will be taking over for some of our EDI team allowing our team 
to take on project work).
•Great communication and ability to deal with customers directly.
•Willing to take on support and problem solving for our EDI systems.
They need PL/SQL Development too

How is a candidate supposed to know if he or she can be a "problem solver" or 
"developer"  with NO CLUE as to what industry or types 
of applications?  How can he/she  "deal with customers directly" in THEIR 
language if they don't know what their business is?

Even reducing this to the bare technical essentials, what "set" of "EDI 
documents" are we talking about here? Supply Chain? 
Trucking/Logistics? Banking? Health Care?  (that was rhetorical, I am not 
interested in any event)
