I've not seen this in an invoice, however, one OEM who shall remain nameless (and almost was) sends all terms and conditions in NTE segments in 850/860. Of course, we just ignore it, since all of these same terms and conditions have been agreed to in writing, signed sealed and delivered, often years ago. Also, these "terms and conditions" haven't changed in the 15 years I've been doing this. Ah, well, I call it the OWM syndrome. I'll tell you what OWM means on Friday, if you really have to know.

It is wasteful (if you are paying by the kilocharacter) and accomplishes absolutely nothing except to provide "noise" in the communication.. At the most, all you really need is a simple line in an N9/MTX segment that references the Trading Partner Agreement or the Ts & Cs "incorporated herein by reference".

If it included agreement to the T & C, then printing it on the Invoice would be superfluous. I am thinking somebody in your UK Legal or A/R doesn't understand the nature of an EDI Trading Partnership. Communicate - Educate them. It might help. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com>] On Behalf Of Samantha Scott Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 12:24 PM To: kaoedi Cc: [email protected]<mailto:EDI-L%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [EDI-L] Terms and Conditions - Tradacoms How about hardcoding a link to terms and conditions stored on the web? This stuff on EDI docs is silly, we all know that, but lawyers win these arguments. The military who is notorious for reams of text in their docs has not started sending links to the applicable bits online and it is quite the refreshing change.
