Sonia,

If you define the specs, you only need to process one document type. If
your vendors define their specs, you'll have to process whatever they send
you, which will probably be different for each vendor.

In the retail and grocery industry, the buyer, eg. Wal-Mart or Ralphs
(otherwise known affectionately as the 800-lb. gorillas), usually defines
the specs as a requirement to receive an order. If you want to do business
with them, you do it their way.

If I were the buyer, I would always try to define the specs for my vendors,
unless I had to buy from a vendor that would not cooperate with me.

Your vendors apparently are already conditioned to expect to receive specs
from their customers.

I'd send them your specs.

Rgds,

Dave
