Lifeway has been notifying trading partners of their upcoming version migration:
We are converting our EDI to version 4010 and standardizing our MAPS (see attachments for examples). We want to convert our current transactions sets – 810 (invoice), 850 (PO), 855 (PO acknowledgments), and 977 (acknowledgments); we don’t want to add anything new until the baseline is complete. If you are currently sending 856, please continue, but we wont’ be addressing those until later.
We have set up a new mailbox with PUBNET (mailbox number is 1412000); this will be used for testing and ultimately production. However, until conversion, you will need to continue to monitor your normal mailbox for “live” orders. Once the test mailbox is set up, I will release an 850 and put it in the mailbox. An e-mail will be sent to you with the test PO# for you to pull. Please review this PO, send an 977 and let me know how it goes. Also, send an 810 when possible for review.
What this means to you:
We are talking with Pubnet about having them do this translation. By making this change Lifeway is no longer using what we consider to be the standard Pubnet format. If Pubnet cannot do the translation then Unitech will need to break them out as a separate trading partner, LIF. The cost for this would be $600 each for each document needed. You would also need an interconnect to Pubnet for Lifeway.
