Huh?
With regards to the pricing issue, an applications system should offer a
"partner-by-partner" flag in his setup for, "Use partner's price Yes/no when
integrating order." If no, your order processing system should compute the
price.
Several clients for whom I have done work have found (well, I found it, but on
their nickel, so I guess you can say they found it) they were getting lower
prices than had been agreed until I disabled the "use partner's price" features.
In some EDI/ERP systems, you "disable" this by mapping ZERO to the "price"
field; this serves to notify the order processing system that it is required to
price the item.
You may or may not end up sending an 855 PO Acknowledgement with the CORRECT
pricing to the buyer, but there is no reason even the most basic ERP system
should require human pricing for "EDI orders" (unless human pricing is always
required. In this case, you need a better ERP system for sure).
