Thank you for your replies and thoughts. Brian, please don't hold back. I
mean that sincerely as I'll address a couple of your points briefly. - I'm
not pandering a service here I want feedback on the 860 challenges. I do
have personal interests in both EDI software and service companies. I also
write in an opinionated way to help open up an exchange of other opinions.
But the overall fighting drive is for supply chain efficiency. The more
pervasive we can be implementing EDI technology the more we grow our value
and industry. So, I'm not biting the hand that feeds me, I'm opening up
dialogue for a better way to handle 20% of EDI becoming manual. Is that
issue too fluffy for you Chris? Should we talk no higher than the segment
level and meta data meaning behind elements?
I spent a damn hour searching back through nearly 500 messages over several
years on 860 questions. It only validated the questions to be asked again.
My thoughts on past requests, replies here, and the need of the 860 session
at the VCF conference go back to the ideas behind the Y2K era of business
process networks. I believe that a managed service network today, that is
already handling the 860 across multiple customers, is well positioned to
take the next step of standardizing the 20% of manual order exceptions.
How? It does mean reaching beyond the EDI document and taking ownership of
the order to cash process. And I don't want to come across as pandering
services so I won't say who, but there are EDI people working with business
line directors to tackle this challenge. But the approaches that I have
seen are highly specialized. I personally would like to hear more about
the approaches taken, which is why I am asking here.
All the best,
Rob
