We used that same exact configuration here for our EDI processing.
We trashed the whole thing and went with an outside source for our EDI
transactions. It was too much of a pain to keep track of all the versions
of EDI our customers wanted. Also, hard to keep changing the mapping.
That's one of the biggest pains in the world.
The only programming I had to do was create files, to our outsource
company's specs, and FTP the data over to them. The same for incoming
transactions.
We no longer have to worry about EDI versions, and such.
When we get an FTPed file from them, I load the data into the Offline
Transaction files for MAPICS, and automatically create orders.
The same for our ASNs and Invoices.
Thanx,
Nick

Re: [MAPICS-L] EDI Questions
I think it takes someone who has EDI/programming skills to get the
combination of MAPICS/EC/Trusted-Link to work smoothly.
Certainly some training is required. User exit programs take some
skill to develop. Switching to another vendor could be quite a task and
would cost you another license fee. You may find the new software
works similarly as what you have now.
My 2 cents,
Greg

Good Afternoon everyone.
We currently use COM, EC and trusted-link to move our EDI transactions
us to customer. Not being an EDI guru, but also not that happy with our
EC flexibility, has anyone out there found and used another product that
works great with MAPICS that is better then EC and is more user friendly
to map.
Look forward to your responses.
Happy Holidays all.
