industry, in conjunction with the e-centre (www.e-centre.org.uk),
have committed to migrating all EDI messages to
the EANCOM EDI Standard. Sainsbury will only develop
new EDI messages in the EANCOM standard and existing
TRADACOMS messages will be migrated. No firm dates
exist for the migration. For any future development
