I find Harbinger a much better tool for mapping. Harbinger does what you want it
to do when you tell it to do it, while with Gentran you have to find ways to
trick the translator to do what you want it to. Example: In Harbinger you tell
it to when to write a segment while in Gentran you can't write a segment unless
you have one simple link to that segment. So if you have a segment that is
filled with hard coded values you have to find something from the Input side of
the map to link to the segment in order for it to be written.
When mapping SAP IDOCs Harbinger is much easier

Sterling in my opinion knocks the socks of Harbinger. Especially when it
comes to mapping.

I have found Harbinger(Inovis) to be the best out of all the EDI translators
I have used.

I posted a similar question a while ago. What I ultimately ended up with
was Softshare Delta with the ECS communication package. It really seemed
to offer the best price/performance of anything I looked at. Delta will
translate to/from EDI, XML, flat file, database, and text files. Its
Windows based, and ECS uses MS-SQL Server for its backend. Its got all
kinds of slick bells and whistles, and I think its pretty easy to use. Im
quite impressed so far.

I know the folks that we got the software from (IEC Technologies in
Cleveland) mentioned having done integrations with SAP.

Check it out: www.softshare.com

Good luck,
