Why, how sweet of you Michael!

I've somehow got that "Friday" feeling already, not sure why, maybe it's the 
sunny weather!

There is a standard rule for documentation: documentation must be designed 
for the target audience.

Your 'electronic trading partners' don't know - and almost never care - how 
you create the X12 you send them or how they create the X12 they send you.

Hmm,.. you know, you could almost think of X12 as a 'standard'  for the 
exchange of common business documents, huh?

This reminds me of why I said *almost* never care.

I am working with a client's customer who has an SAP ERP system... and an 
outside firm who handles that customer's X12<==>iDoc mapping.  He sent me 
the "application"  mapping so we can speak the same language (his) when  we 
are trying to clarify what he means by that code in I see in the 850 PO 
segment TD5 element three. (" Oh, an 'A' in E1EDKT2.TDLINE?  That means 'UPS 
Ground!')
