Fwd: RE: <TECH> Mapping EDIFACT to X12
I don't operate at the nitty-gritty EDI level, so pardon my high-level
perspective.
My experience showed that EDIFACT is better suited to international transactions
than X12. I had
worked in the shipping industry, and found, for example, that the IFTMBF/IFTMBC
pair was a richer
transaction than the 300/301 pair. The former handled inland transportation and
multiple
transportation legs better. So, in that business arena, it was difficult to use
EDIFACT and X12
interchangably.
