FDA document validation rules
Lot-level data accuracy
Secure AS2 protocol stability
Most compliance issues occur when lot-level data and ASNs are not validated against DSCSA mandates.
Pharma ASNs must transmit precise lot numbers and dates per DSCSA; missing fields trigger automatic rejections.
NDC mismatches in purchase orders break automated pharmacy systems, causing order rejections and manual intervention for corrections.
Unstable AS2 connections delay document delivery, risking non-compliance with Ascend's real-time shipment update requirements.
We combine deep pharma expertise with real-time validation to eliminate shipment delays and chargebacks, something generic EDI providers can’t match.
