title: TRADACOMS invoice help (EDI Invoice)
body: <p>I am trying to understand EDI invoices using tradacoms standards, I have found some information in order to read an invoice but it is not sufficient. Does anybody has any sample or idea for importing tradacom invoice to business objects using .NET?
  I have tried reading Tradacom Syntax manual, it just defines the segments which is fine but I wanted to know in more detail with any sample will be of great help. </p>
  
  <p>I am quite stuck with data elements for example the line below: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ILD=1+1+:8408++:31266+0+2:2500:KG+54300+135800+Z+0+++SILVERSIDE 1-5
    KG'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Now, ILD is invoice details, "=" defines data element value in segment, "+" separates the value for one data element to another but what I don't understand is what is what, like what is "1+1+:8408", I mean line number, customer number, product code etc etc and so on.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please shed some light to it?  I will be really grateful.</p>
