This means the way you send orders is fixed in your application? Well,
this is fine as long as your business partners actually support that
format. I see no particular problem with this. Of course you need to
support incoming orders, also and sending invoices or order response.

The question is, why the isnt done by WebEDI of course is still
unanswered.

How do you get the Orders into your system? Where do you get the SKU
numbers from?

I mean, it is nice to have a Desktop Ordering Solution for Stand Alone
use, but that isnt especially an A2A Solution, this is a B2C Solution
which every web shop out there already can do.
