Ilia,
This philosophy works for me and has for 16+ years. I have one map for a
document per X12 version. On our vendor side, we try to corral them into using
003050 or 004010. Our customers are anything from 002001 to 004060. But it
does work and I don't spend much time maintaining maps. I map out complete
segments, but I don't use all the segments available for the document, just the
ones that need to be used.

In preparation to our SAP migration I've offered my boss to migrate our
numerous customized and mostly simple per-partner maps into centralized map
driven by partner-based parameters configured within the EDI system (Sterling
Integrator).
My boss was challenging me whether this was within "Best practices of EDI". I
understand this is rather conceptual issue, and question is whether it would be
hard to maintain centralized map (whenever there is a need to change something
for 1 partner, you'd have to retest the data for all of them, I get that :)))
Never the less, if EDI is not ran by consulting shop, and the long term goal is
reducing maintenance and cost - would this approach fall within "Best practices
of EDI" and would there be any documentation out there to support it, other
then exchange of opinions of EDI gurus on this mailing list?
Yeah, and I wana fries with that!
Happy Friday!
:))))
Thanks!
Ilia.
