While the terminology may vary from product to product, the functions performed do not. Everything boils down to translating the partners' mutual requirements: - What information do I need to enter my partner's purchase order? - What information does my partner need to process my invoice? The technical or user interface details of translation and mapping products are actually tiny compared to what it takes to master the finer points of the underlying business transactions - and the ability to communicate with your partners regarding them. You might 'master' a translation/mapping tool in weeks but you can't master a business or industry quite so quickly. Understand your client/employers business, you'll get the time to master the tools. But if you don't understand the business and/or cannot communicate with your partners and the 'business people' at your end - you may as well eschew "EDI Mapping" as a profession. Michael C.
