Re: [U2] SB+ editing question

Hi, Non-standard characters can often be added (possibly depending on editor, but it works here in SB Client), by holding down ALT and typing in the character code on the numeric pad. In the case of @VM, that would be alt+253. Adam -Original Message- From:

Late to this, but I use includes with code in two situations: 1. As standard library pieces managed through a pre-compiler, usually for platform-dependent sections. For example, I have standard includes for getting command line arguments, reading and writing from ini files and so forth. The

[U2] [mildly ot] - EDI and drop shipments

2012-02-10 Thread George Gallen
For those EDIers on the list. Do any of you process drop shipments using EDI for 850's? What method do you use? We were thinking : First N1 loop - N1 segment contains the BT and use the SAN (15 code) Second N1 loop - N1 segment contains the ST but use phone# for identification (12 code)

If you are using one ship to (drop ship) destination then what you suggest below is fine. We often have a 'BT' (bill to) N1, N3 and N4 followed by a 'ST' (ship to) N1, N3 and N4. Footnote: If you are going to have multiple destination in one PO, you will need to look into the SDQ segment.

Didn't think about multiple destinationsI would hope that they separate their 850's on the drop ships So that each order is it's own destination. I don't think they want to get too complicated either, so I think we can agree on keeping it simple. Thanks George -Original Message-

Are you setting up specifications or do you already have a set that you're working from? You should be able to isolate the N1 loops from each other within a dataset so that each loop is a functional subset. Then, based on the BT/ST code determine what kind of information you have and apply it

Aside from phone#, the other thought was just a straight text DROPSHIP, other than That, I wouldn't be relating the phone number to anything, other than a piece of data Isolating the loops isn't a problem. I have a subroutine that converts the EDI To a dynamic array, and it knows that N1 is a

Without seeing your approach to handling your data, and more importantly how you're feeding this data into your sales order system, I'm not real sure what you're asking for. The only thing I really see in your original question is about recognizing what the data in the N1 loop is. That's what the

George, EDI is more people-oriented than technical. The X12 documents provide a structure, and trading partners can discuss the content used to populate those structures to achieve their business goals. There are few details about the 850, 856, 820, 997, 810, etc that can't be negotiated to

The universe compiler (-xref) option is pretty useful for tracking down variable usage. Specifically, I'd like to eliminate assigned but unused variables, so I'm looking for output that has single assignments only. It looks like the raw compiler output from -X is from an intermediate file

Tony, I can't agree more, as I've always said, EDI standards are the most non-standard things I've ever seen. Problem is I hadn't ever worked with drop shipments in EDI, and the trading partner we are trying to do this with has never done using EDI either, and I probably know more about EDI

George, May I suggest that you also post this question to the EDI-L group at: ed...@yahoogroups.com? They are all EDI specialists, much like most of us are U2/multivalue specialists. I'll look for your question on the EDI-L list and I look forward to the responses you get. Best regards,
