EDI testing does provide a few minutes of extreme hilarity.  
I thought that I would share this with you.

Background:  After locating a lost UPC prefix for a client, which was needed 
for EDI testing, we find out that no...  UPCs are not going to be used.  We get 
an extension because the 855 specs were not online, only to be told a few weeks 
later that the 855 is no longer required.

Now this:

Subject:        CUSTOMERNAME (DIVNAME) EDI Testing
Date sent:      Mon, 18 Aug 2008 09:29:28 -0500

Good Morning,

I was just told by CUSTOMERNAME to cancel MYCLIENTNAME testing as they are part 
of their DIVNAME division which was just sold.

Thank you,

Implementation Analyst
SPS Commerce - The EDI Outsourcing Experts




My client is stunned.  They just had to shell out $500.00 for SPS Commerce 
testing.  In addition, there is my time to implement and test the new maps and 
label.  

This deal must have been in the air for months, yet they pushed EDI testing 
forward.  I'll have to research how many suppliers were affected in the sale of 
this division.

Lesson learned:  Early adoption is usually a bad thing.
