Or... you could simply adapt.
An
EDI Translation Services environment should be able to accommodate BOTH.
The translator
deployed at your installation should be robust enough to
accommodate those TPs sending multiples or single Groups. Certainly you have the
option to hang a pre-process parser up front to re-align/alter the bit stream to
satisfy whatever limitation/challenge presented by your EDI pasing architecture.
Your call. But be mindful of what constitutes a 'unit of work' and expectation
of the receiving app.This can cause significant headaches from a real-time
event-driven programmed architecture.
I suppose much of my take on the subject stems from the experiences I have
had, none of which involves retail. I've been blessed with the luxury of working
for a 'Walmart'-like
shop, where my 'business' EDI rules/guidelines are
established in accordance with the operational business rules established within
the particular program. At once it is a nice place to be, but certainly
accommodations always need be anticipated for the few EDI savvy shops demanding
they be allowed to 'flex' the fully allowable DISA
ANSI X.12 paradigm.
Flexibility is key.
Oh to work for Walmart!

Not that it really matters.
If your 997 are batching with the 810 and 856, send them out before
processing your 810 and 856. If the
810 and 856 are batching together, process them separately and send one
batch to the van before processing
the second. A schedule change should be enough to do what you need.
-or -
if you really only need it for one partner ... use an editor, pull the
interchange from the batch heading for the van,
and do what you have to do.
-or-
call your van, see if they can split the interchanges for the one
partner ... at his expense, of course.
-or-
contact me off list and let me know who needs a new translator, and
we'll get him some services :)
