RE: Spec source.
Sonia,
I would agree with both replies to this thread. In the customer driven mode
you can easily be accustomed to having your specs supplied. Customers
specify what they want and you supply it - bing bang boom - map done.
Sometimes it is not until you need to integrate data into your backend
systems that you are actually forced to think through your application's
requirements and the corresponding segments/elements. Sometimes customers
have asked for 'our' invoice or advance ship notice specs at the beginning
of a project. Being customer driven ourselves, we have the many specs our
customers want to recieve. 'We' don't necessarily have a preference.
Whenever asked for this info, a sample of the simplest one is sent for an
example. In the end, transaction specs should be driven by your application
requirements.

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,
