Kevin, At the risk of getting skewered by one of our sales peeps (we offer a Web-based solution for WLG), I could swear that I was told that Walgreens had (or was planning to have) its own hosted Web solution for small-volume suppliers....
LMGTFY... Yeow--really long URL: https://webapp.walgreens.com/VendorPortalStellent/prodpublisher/html/Index.htm?https://webapp.walgreens.com/VendorPortalStellent/prodpublisher/new_vendor/welcome_prospective_walgreen_company_vendor/welcome.htm&right&new_vendor&undefined&undefined&undefined As a potential vendor to Walgreen Co., we want you to be fully aware of the expectations we have of our supplier community with regard to electronic communications within the procurement process: 1. Email plays an important role in communications. 2. All procurement transactions, from item setup through payment are expected to be traded electronically. To comply with this requirement, Walgreens offers you two options: ***** EMPHASIS added... 1. WEB BASED APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE FREE-OF-CHARGE ON THE WALGREENS SUPPLIERNET WEBSITE OR ***** 2. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) X.12 Transactions through a Value Added Network (VAN) service provider. ------------- If they have too much volume to use this, let the list know and we can all turn our sales teams loose on 'em.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an affordable (euphemism for cheap) EDI solution for them.
