RE: Walmart EDI

["Bob Cagle" <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wal-Mart does require that you use the AS2 protocol for a direct-link
communication with them.  We use Trailblazer systems - their product is
100% native to the iSeries.  We also use their FTP product.  Plus, they
integrate very well with Inovis (Peregrine/Harbinger) Trusted Link,
which is our EDI Mapper.

As for getting examples of their maps, Wal-Mart provides complete EDI
documentation on their Retail Link website.  If your company does
business with them, someone in your organization will have a user ID for
this.  

Contact me offline if you have more questions...

Has anyone set up EDI with Wal-Mart? If so could you please let me know 
of any quirks or things that might make this a difficult project? Also 
if it is possible to get an example invoice or something along those 
lines it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jeff
