Hi all,



We're in the process of implementing OTM freight settlement in v5.5 and
we're trying to integrate as many carriers as possible to send their
invoices via EDI or XML to OTM. I understand that OTM will only receive XML
but there is an add-on to Gentran that will convert EDI to XML which will
hopefully work for us. We've talked to most of our carriers and most of
them are EDI capable but only a few are XML capable. We are in the process
of trying to define our required data mapping so that we can send this out
to our carriers. I know that typically the customer defines the data
standards but I assume that most of these carriers probably already have a
standard outbound transmission for their invoices so I'm not sure how
flexible they will be. I am hoping to hear from someone who has done
something similar to this and perhaps can share some insight into the
process.



Thanks,

Maricio,

You are correct, usually customer defines the
standards. You could query your carriers and see who
they are sending invoices to already and see if you
could find a common customer.

Alternatively is to possibly use a third party hub to
handle translation duties for you.
