Most compliance issues happen when business operations and EDI mapping are handled separately.
Mismatched carton counts or missing SSCC-18 labels break the digital-physical alignment Brodart’s system requires.
Brodart expects exact line-item acknowledgments; any uncommunicated change triggers a compliance violation and order hold.
Invoices sent before the ASN or with incorrect PO references are automatically flagged, delaying payment cycles.
