--- Comment #85 from Colin Campbell <colin.campbell at ptfs-europe.com> ---
I'm working on generating a usable patch set for people to test from this and
some custom scripts. The edifact parsing is effectively done (for a very
limited number of vendors). It needs to be made into something that fits
cleanly with Koha.

In practice for those Koha sites using EDI in the UK the process is largely one
of transferring incoming quotes and invoices and sending orders by ftp/sftp.
(one gets the impression that the vendors edi side is not very automated).

The impact on Koha's work flow is minimal we need to store vendor edi account
details (a vendor may have multiple edi 'accounts' ) and the corresponding
library side accounts.

In the normal acq workflow the addition would be an option to send an
order_basket by edi if the vendor is edi_enabled Otherwise there need to be
batch scripts to handle transferring data from the vendor and loading that into
Koha.

I dont know if people are envisioning other workflows, if so please post
details against this bug.

Hope to post with tests and documentation as a working beast soon
