I don't understand your question completely. Each SDQ segment can have multiple Stores. The same Store can be repeated on other lines for different products. If you are going to create a different Order for each Store, you will have to read all the lines (and multiple SDQ segments)... 1) Don't confuse ASNs with Invoices. They are different documents, with different rules. Typically the Invoices are either consolidated (for all stores) or by store. This could generate a lot of invoices for large chains ;-) Some TPs do not require Invoices. They are generated from the ASN. The ASNs are usually by ShipTo. My favorite scenario is when we get large SDQ orders where the ShipTo is not specified. You need a Routing Guide (and database) to determine the correct ShipTo. In these cases, the PO is split into multiple ASNs. Remember that each ShipTo will have a different Bill of Lading, and an ASN can only have a single Bill of Lading (in my experience). 2) The treatment of the Order within your ERP may be completely different. Depends on the ERP and how the EDI PO gets handled. Some of our clients will explode the SDQ PO into multiple Orders. 3) As was pointed out, always check the TP's specifications.
