Sorry, I mistakenly told Rosalind that we had the vendor number in note 3 but
its actually is in note 2 and takes the form $VENDSAN=5033075062180.
As far as I know we are using EDIFACT but I'm not too clear on the difference?
Does anyone know if it makes a big change to my situation.
Many thanks for all input,
Bill.
