We have a few hunderd EDI partners and receive a few thousand EDI files a day.
Our application is SAP.
The issue:
one of our partners had a problem and passed us an 850 file with 22600 PO's.
All their PO's from the last 3 years.
Gentran Server Unix translated the file which took well over an hour and passed
it to SAP. This file sucked the life out of SAP and it took about 12 hours to
stablaize SAP.
To me this was an extremely rare event but now managment wants EDI to check all
files and not pass anyhting over to SAP if the file has more than 500 PO's.
This is a knee jerk reaction. I don't feel the need to either check the count
of BEG segments or EDI_DC segments and suspend files.
Has this type of thing happened to anyone else? My thinking is that if we must
add this check then SAP should not only check files size but PO dates.
(dupe check didn't work because these POs from 2008-2010 were on another system
and not brought over to SAP.)
Any thoughts?
