It almost pains me to do so, but I agree with Brian. Given the constraint... > I am not able, at this time, to ask the customer what they would like > (which is > what I want to do) so please don't suggest that. .. I'd wait for a time at which you ARE able to ask the customer. Thinking like the partner might think...... I might want one ACK loop (loop here will equal ACK seg only, no DTM) with ACK01 = "IC" meaning "one or more changes" .. so I look for all possible changes... for prices and qtys in PO1 (or ACK) and for delivery schedules in SCH(s). Then again, I may want one discrete ACK loop for each possible "type" of change.. one with ACK01=IC meaning "Check P01/ACKsSegment for price/qty chandes" and/or another ACK with ACK01 = "DR" meaning "check for delivery changes." That said, I have never seen an 855 with more than one ACK loop per PO1 loop. YMMV. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc. Racine WI [email protected] ------------------------------------ ...
