Thanks for your interest Jeff,

There are  a number of areas of work....

EDI

I was thinking that a facility to create a flat file from a purchase order
in the format described by EANCOM's Electronic Data Interchange would enable
dispatch of EDI orders. This could be an option on the PO_PDFPurchOrder.php
page if the supplier is defined as EDI enabled. The supplier master would
need some additional information regarding the transport mechanism - either
email address or ftp - server address. Additional tables would be required
to cross reference the item codes of the system to the item code of the
supplier. I can send you the specification of the EANCOM Orders.

Similarly, the sending of EDI sales orders from a customer to be imported
into a sales order. I figure this script will be a scheduled script running
in the background to poll an email address and/or an ftp server's directory,
to take the files in attachments and parse them into a sales order - again a
translation table will probably be required for parts and customer branches.
If there were orders uploaded, then a customer service person is emailed -
perhaps defined in config.php - with the new order numbers created by the
script.

This is a tricky area I think and may well be a bit of a mission. Was this
the area you were interested in?

Regards

Phil
