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.

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 Messages in this topic (6) ________________________________________________________________________ 2b.

Re: EDI in the UK Posted by: "Chris Johnson" [email protected] edimatrix2 Date: Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:50 am ((PDT)) There is a Wikipedia article on TRADACOMS which is brief, but explains it relative to EDIFACT.

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 :-) Regards Chris -- Chris Johnson mobile:+44 (0)7785 302122 Fax: +44 (0)870 0519 818 EDI website http://www.edimatrix.co.uk EDIMatrix Ltd work: 0845 126 0680 or +44 20 8778 1402 Registered in UK no. 2777624 Reg.Office: 34 Sydenham Rd, London SE26 5QF Messages in this topic (6) ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 3a.

Re: Medtronic Posted by: "[email protected]" [email protected] sfalbjoslin Date: Tue Mar 20, 2012 10:03 am ((PDT)) 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.

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.

An interesting article on standards and copyright Posted by: "Earl Wertheimer" [email protected] earlwer Date: Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:55 am ((PDT)) 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.
