What I’ve been seeing has nothing to
do with taking a spreadsheet and building a map of any sort. From the looks of
it it’s just sending a spreadsheet that is
uploaded to someone’s A/R. I still would like to know how many of you
get these kind of requests. Mike From: Chuck Boucos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I haven’t chimed into these
discussions much lately, but I have to agree with Nestor here. As an EDI Consultant, if a client of mine
wants me to take a spreadsheet sent from a Trading Partner of theirs and build
a map that will reformat it into an XML document that the client will import
into their back-office system, I’m certainly not going to say
“Nope, can’t do it, because I’m an EDI Consultant”. At
the same time, I’m not going to drop “EDI” from my title
because I did it. The Spreadsheet was received
electronically, it contains data, and the whole operation was an interchange. “EDI” It may be a matter of perspective. A
person doing the mapping may not think of spreadsheets as EDI, but the person
in the Corner Office probably does, and I would agree with that guy.
(He’s the one approving my bill.) I would define EDI as the entire
discipline, and X12 as a sub-set, for lack of a better word. If X12 is the
defining part of EDI, then (as has been said in another response) what do you
call HL7 folks, or EDIFACT folks, or anyone who uses proprietary formats? A
business document isn’t necessarily defined by its envelope structure or
Standard. The transaction that the gas pump sends to EXXON may or may not be
X12 (I don’t know) but it certainly is a business document. From: Jon Garniss
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have to disagree; EDI is the application
to application exchange of business documents. Spreadsheets are not EDI. Unless
of course they are sending you a spreadsheet that has the Enveloping structures
and X12/EDIFACT data. Then maybe they could be called EDI. Jon Garniss EDI Specialist =========== -----Original Message----- I think you are confusing EDI with
standards. You can do EDI anyway you want – it is whether you have to
comply with standards where things get split. From: I read all the posts here and am wondering
if any of you are getting requests for “spreadsheets” to be sent to customers calling it EDI?
It’s looking like anything transmitted is being called EDI without it
actually being EDI as I know it or you folks talk
about. Mike D
