We are looking for a way to delay the EDI 810's. The ED502 job is basic and doesn't have any date parameters so it just goes out to our GHX server and picks up all the files in the mmis_in folder. These get processed in and many of them fail on MA54 due to PO issues. We were wondering if there was a way to delay them by a few days so that it gives the PO's time to come in and be received. Anybody have a way to do this??

Possibly use IPA to interrogate the files for the date and move them to a temporary file for a couple of days and then move them back?

If I recall correctly, ED502 runs one of the PERL scripts in the EDI directory that does the actual retrieval. If so, you could modify its logic to check the timestamp, or record a list of files and retrieve the files in this list only after they have been on a list for a few days. That way your solution will be "integrated" and will not require separate processing by something else (like IPA).
