RE: 856 Standard vs Pick and Pack Structure
I personally have accommodated a lot of different requests by taking advantage
of flexible interface physical files and using logical files to select/omit and
sort the various physical files based on the trading partner's requirements.
This is required to simply support all the versions like we do here at
Medtronic. We support from 2001-4010.
Good Luck!
Thanks,
Dawn

I do not know your specific environment ("AS400, BPCS ERP, Varsity shipping
software, SSA modified version of
Harbiner 3.2 translator") , but I worked on one system (ASI, runs on AS/400)
(strangely enough I had two *different* clients with
the same ERP AND EDI software) where this was possible: the ERP system
replicated data in the exported '856' file and by either
sorting or just picking the records you want, you could generate SOIP or SIOP
from the same input. The EDI software was Gentran/400.
Not sure if that does make you crazy or not... .
