Re: beginner question: X12 flavours
Thx Art--much appreciated!
I've been in contact with the customer and confirmed that they are indeed s=
ending us an Oracle Interface file. They had been under the impression that =
this was itself an X12 file--they're now going to see if they can find out h=
ow to generate valid X12.
Does anyone know if this is likely to be a relatively simple process?We are=
hoping we can get it running in the next three days--does this sound wildly=
unrealistic in other people's experience?
Our other option is to extract the data we need from the Interface file as =
is, which should be doable in that time frame based on what I've seen so far=
.
Best regards
charles
