Alex, Thanks for the thoughts and you are right that a correct solution would be to use Gentran Windows to fix the HL loops. However, that would not fix the data in our MRP which is why it is not a valid long term solution. In order to fix the MRP data we need to perform quite a few steps which, unfortunately, our guy on the shipping dock does not have access to at 1:00 am. So the long term fix is to change the process, that will then create correct EDI. In the meantime, Honda gets a lot of bad 856s, they get mad at us and go looking for a new supplier then I get to go look for a new job! All in all, it seems best to manually fix a few 856s while we fix the process the right way.
One other note, I could create a Data Entry map in Gentran, then bring in the EDI and remove the bad HL loops and then let it fix the HL numbering but it seems easier to me to fix the EDI and save me the time it would take to create and debug and test a Date Entry map.
