RE: 856 Standard vs Pick and Pack Structure
Good Morning Tracy!
As long as the application your using to collect and store data
allows you to enter many items to a pack or many packs to and item, your
programmer is correct. On the AS/400, as with any system using a relational
database, a physical file may be sorted and accessed in just about any order
using a logical file(view). Essentially what a logical file does is that it
allows the programmer to specify an alternate sort sequence (key) for
accessing the file. As long as the new logical does not conflict with the
precepts of a previously defined logical (i.e.: a logical defined with a
unique key (ex.: 1 item to 1pack ONLY)), you will have no difficulty in
accessing the data in the desired sequence for your new trading partner.
Your programmer may need to tweak the software slightly to ensure that the
new logical is used at the appropriate time but, that should be the extent
of it.

Subject: [EDI-L] 856 Standard vs Pick and Pack Structure
Good Monday morning all,
I'll try to make this as short as possible...
All of our customers want their 856's in Pick and Pack Structure
(SOPI). We have a new customer who wants their 856 in Standard
Structure (SOIP). It is my understanding that shipping
software/systems (I don't know exactly what to call it) are set up to
do either P&P or Standard--not both. At other jobs, we have had to
programmatically re-sort the P&P data and write a new physical file
for the data in Standard format. I'm trying to explain this to our
programmer, be he insists that a new logical file over the Pick and
Pack physical will work if we use different keys. This just doesn't
seem to make sense to me--how can one file have both one item to many
packs AND one pack to many items, no matter how you sort it? Am I
crazy? I'm relatively new at this job, so I have not built up enough
credibility for anyone to believe what I'm saying. I have a meeting
with him in an hour, so any quick second (third, fourth) opinion is
very welcome.
Thank you!
