If the library is receiving order responses and/or invoices from the vendor
in addition to sending outgoing POs via EDI, having them share a single EDI
account raises the distinct possibility that the responses and invoices may
not get linked up properly. While the database schema allows multiple
providers to use the same account as their EDI default, an EDI account
itself can link directly to only one provider.

Regards,

Galen
