George,
May I suggest that you also post this question to the EDI-L group at:
ed...@yahoogroups.com?
They are all EDI specialists, much like most of us are U2/multivalue
specialists.
I'll look for your question on the EDI-L list and I look forward to the
responses you get.
Best regards,

Tony,
I can't agree more, as I've always said, EDI standards are the most
non-standard things I've ever seen.
Problem is I hadn't ever worked with drop shipments in EDI, and the
trading partner we are trying to
do this with has never done using EDI either, and I probably know
more about EDI than they do, and
I barely have scratched the surface of it, so as you said, we will
need to bring to the table the ideas
and come to an agreement.
Seems that my thought patten for how to address the drop shipment in
the transactions seems to be on
target with the responses have been, so that's a good sign.
But since I'm doing custom software that more depends on what the
other side is sending, and what the
other side needs, it's really difficult when the other side doesn't
know what they need! Yes, we could
just come up with a protocol that is good for us, but I really wanted
to make sure what we come up
with is workable for other partners without much tweeking.

Subject: Re: [U2] [mildly ot] - EDI and drop shipments
It's been my experience that more time
is spent on the phone, in emails, and in the conference room than
in code when it comes to EDI. Getting the agreements documented
up front saves huge amounts of coding and retrofitting on the
back-end.
So I encourage you to take the feedback you get here and bring it
to your trading partners to see if it works for them - and ask
them if they have ideas about how they have already done this or
how they see it happening. That partnership toward a common goal
(again, very people-oriented) will really help to make this
technical initiative work for everyone.
