" Please be advised your implementation guide for the '855 Sales Order
Acknowledgment' on page 1234 shows element one (1) of
segment PO3 as "unused."
" While I am certain this is only a documentation error, as element one of
segment PO3 is an ANSI X12 004010 mandatory element even
when no meaningful data are provided, we will be supplying this segment with a
suitable data content in this element.
"I'm sure all your vendors will appreciate this oversight or typographical
error being addressed in the next release of your
implementation guide."
No one is offended (except maybe partner's doc writer). Your client looks good.
You look good. No one has to screw with custom
standards. Everyone wins.
Call me crazy but I like "everyone wins" scenarios.
