RE: [BULK] Re: (OFF TOPIC) EDI Pet (Peeve) Phrases
"We've talked enough about UCC-128, its time to discuss UCC-129" (from
internal Management Meeting few years back).
"Yes, our EDI 856 is in production, but can't be used by our receiving.
Please give us a hard-copy as well. If you don't give us a hard-copy,
you'll get a chargeback"
"The Acceptance of the data on our FA doesn't mean anything. Please
retransmit the data".
"We thought your data was bad, so we've deleted it. Can you please
resend?"
"I think we lost your EDI".
"We are parsing your EDI through a program, that's why we can't generate
an acknowledgement".
"So, explain me the benefits of the EDI?" (Question asked yesterday by
one of the major none-edi National Retail Chains' IT Manager.
"We understand your frustrations with our ERP's shortcomings, that's
whey we are purchasing a new EDI System and hiring 2 more people to
implement it. I am sure the ERP issues would be addressed at some
point."
"Yeah, our ERP needs a lot changes to work with a new EDI Solution, but
frankly, its not an EDI issue."
"You will get your training... Once the system is in production, and if
you still feel like you need it".
Hey, don't tell my boss I've sent this. I am not venting, I am beyond
it.

Importance: Low
"It's highly configurable"
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
"It's very easy"
for me ... but i'm going to make you feel some pain if you want me to do
it
"It's a five minute task"
ibid.
"What the **** were they smoking when they coded this?"
come on, that's what you wanted to say ...
"Were you born knowing EDI?"
yes ... and lots of other fun stuff.
"I have a direct client ..."
This position hasn't been filled in a year, and if I can find someone to
fill it, maybe they'll pay me a commission. Note,
the average consultant pays the salary for approximately three others
based on the usual 50% mark-up. I'm not that
expensive, feel free to call me directly.
"It's an all-inclusive rate."
You want a beer, you have to pay for it now. Ditto hotel, airfare,
meals, cabs, strippers, in-room movies and calls to
the 1-900 line and any other extravagant expense report item. If I get
paid $60, that means that I was billed at $120.
Why can't the expenses come off the top? Hurts the profit of the
prior-mentioned three placement executives. Also
leads to dancing :)
