  • It’s not gonna change everything you know, it’s gonna be humble.
  • No new ‘great’ idea.
  • The experiment worked! (RESTFul resource)

EDI and Vendor Compliance Site

Posted on the May 18th, 2007 under EDI,Vendor Compliance by

I am working on gathering some generic EDI and vendor compliance information from the web as well as what I have come across while working in the field. I hope to put together a public site with this information along with help from the community. I have created quite a few “templates” for day to day EDI operations as well as some other guides that will make its way onto the site. I already have the site up and running actually, however I just have not had the time to tweak it to my needs.

Dealing with EDI, vendor compliance, routing guides and vendor guides can be quite a task, especially with the larger customers such as the larger chains and department stores. As you know everyone has their own specific requirements, rules and regulations. I am curious how everyone else manages their day to day operations so everything runs smoothly?

Ideally the site will cover some generic information, suggestions and tips. Perhaps I will add forum for communication and help.

If anyone is interested in contributing or have any suggestions at all, please let me know.

Routing changes in edge rails (map.resources now uses :has_many)

Here is why: Changeset 6594 and Changeset 6588 – Hopefully this will help prevent some headaches.
