Yes there are many standards, and standards within standards. International standards, National standards, Industry standards, and for each standard about as many implementations of that standard as there are trading partners. It's funny how the word standard is used to describe something so non-standard. That is why a commercial mapping program is critical, they keep track of the standards when they change, and validate the transaction sets to make sure they conform to the standard. Fortunately within any given industry there are at most a dozen EDI documents that are in common use. Still things change, and everyone uses the standards in a different way, and at times for things they weren't meant to do. You have to be able to adapt quickly, and a home grown application will make that difficult. Particularly if you don't have any full time staff.

Mark,

and here comes the beauty of EDI,

In US you says "210 shipping invoices"

In Europe we says "EDIfact INVOICE" that happens to be a internationalized
standard
under UN
