Well, that is one hundred percent correct; however, it's not like we haven't seen many many posts here over the years in which it's evident the poster (an "EDI Guy" [or gal])" has been stuck with doing something which should be handled by someone with sales/service, loading doc or accounting expertise, and stuck just because the acronym "EDI" appears 'somewhere' in the project summary. I've always been against trying to 'automate' PO changes... how do you know an order can still be changed? Maybe it's already shipped and invoiced? Maybe it required the seller to make a 'special purchase' of something, or build something 'on spec'... material which is now useless... requiring either a refusal to accept a cancelation/reduction or engendering a "cancelation charge?" Too many variables for this "EDI Guy" to even think a PO change can be handled except by careful *manual* review of a sales/service/production professional. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
