Michael, Another alternative (and an expensive, lousy one) is this. If hand-keying must be done, than you need to turn this hand-keyed data into EDI so that it looks precisely like the data provided by the customer. Place that new EDI file that you have created into the inbound stream of data that you normally receive from the customer. That way you have only *one* inbound solution to figure out, not two.
