What I'm gleaning from this is that the problem isn't that the total is missing, it's just in a bad format and you want to derive it from the translator math engine rather than the application engine.
Or do you truly have an application that does not supply totals in their extract file? I know there are people who say "That can happen" but I'm with Phil; if that is the case, it might be time for a new invoicing package. How on Earth are you going to be able to reconcile your AR to your invoice if one package calculates it one way, and another package calculates it another way? I have NEVER seen this kind of business logic in a translator. That's why they call these programs "translators" and not "calculators." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of _¢e|¢i|-Lefty-|¢i|¢e_ Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 7:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [edi_gns] How to price an invoice using a map Unfortunately our AR calculates to 5 decimal points on there invoicing, and most customer that recieve EDI invoices only accept 2 maybe 3 decimals per LIN segment which could throw off the pricing on the TDS segment.
