Bug Description

We have a request from staff to support ASN Receiving for Midwest Tapes. However, Midwest Tapes uses X12 EDI for ASN instead of Edifact. Indications are they are not planning to support Edifact ASN in the near term.

Evergreen does not support X12, so this would mean creating a new EDI parser for X12 messages.

Opening this as a placeholder for now. Thoughts / input appreciated.

Seems like a good idea; I'm just sorry that X12 does not seem any more elegant than EDIFACT.

Does anybody know of a list of materials providers that support and/or mandate X12 for their EDI messages?

The specific example of Midwest Tapes suggests that whether to use X12 or EDIFACT might not be an attribute of the EDI profile as a whole, but profile + message type.
