We either find places in the ERP to store that stuff or built custom tables to hold it. I think most ERPs can hold item number cross references, but customer specific UoMs may be less common and require an extension/integration table.
Good luck getting paid for electronic invoices that your customer doesn't have matching POs for. That NEVER works for us.

How do people maintain/get this data from the PO onto the outbound document? To make things more difficult, some of these orders are hand keyed, but require EDI invoicing. Here are the 3 options I see: - Look back at the original PO (PO's hand keyed fail) - Maintain this data in tables...either in ERP or in the middle somewhere - Push required data into the delivered Order load interface and carry data through outbound process (PO's hand keyed would require more data entry) Are there other options? Appreciate any feedback and experience from the group. -Thorsten [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ ...
